Stores well.  Grows in any climate. Has very large leaf and vine habit. Fertilize at planting time. Mound soil over row as plants emerge to protect tubers from turning green in the sun. Harvest after tops turn yellow. Can be stored at 40 - 50 degrees F.   Sprinkle a tablespoon of 10-10-10 fertilizer in the space between each potato piece. Do not apply the fertilizer directly to the potatoes as it can burn the tubers. After plants are 8 - 10 inches tall, use a hoe and pile several inches of soil up around the stems.  This prevents exposure to the sun which causes tubers to become green and inedible.
