I was watching a recording of a gardener who had a dozen potatoes which he cut up ( describing the process) and ended with 40, all of which he said would make great plants. Was he right ? Is this a good idea ?

Hi Hank, it depends on the size of the potato, all you actually need is 2 or 3 'eyes', and you will get decent sized plants, Derek.

In theory, yes, but only as long as each section has an 'eye' from which growth can come.

Also depends on type of potato in question. Some give a better yield than others. One of my faves - Yukon Golds.
