I dug them up on Tuesday and found few 2" long and a lot of tiny purple potatoes. By the shape I determined that the variety is Peruvian Purple, because they were slimmer than the All Blue, which was the other one of the purples grown on 2006.

One of the stems must have got damaged and that is why it grew the tubers above ground. Other stems, which grew from same location did not have these tiny tubers on them.

I did also find two other spots in the garden, where I did not plant anything and had potatoes growing in middle of weeds. I dug up the soil and found more Peruvian Purple potatoes. Color of these potatoes make them hard to find, so I must have left many of them in ground year ago. For some reason these potatoes looked more even in shape compared to the ones I had year ago. We had more rain this summer and I did not fertilize the area at all. I wish I had planted potatoes this spring, since it seems to have been a good summer for them.
