I have made several mistakes this year trying the potato bin experiment that I will mention. I buried the stems too deep, too quickly and they rotted for both CIP396256 and Purple Peruvian. I have both plants grown in my garden as well as in the bin, so I can compare habit when I retry this in a bin next year. Based on the pictures above, I believe I will try CIP396256 and Papa chonca grown in bins next year.

I was able to reroot one of the Purple Peruvian potato plants in the top of the bin but am not sure what to expect when I dig it.

I started documenting my efforts in a thread over at this address
