That was the way my gramps did it for "new" potatoes, We were careful with the sprouts to assure they were not broken. Jim

I tried that once. The plants grew but didn't make any potatoes.

It should work fine. Many times the ones I plant have long sprouts on them.

When I was a kid, my parents said to always break the sprouts off before planting. Did not make sense to me, but of course that is the way we did it.

we always broke the long sprouts off too. Just easier to plant I figure, if there was something else but don't recall anymore.

We always broke the long sprouts too. I decided to be a 65 year old rebel and plant the whole thing. So far all the sprouts that were sticking out froze and died. I'll keep you posted on what happened to the sprouts that were covered.

That'll work just fine. Make sure, though, that if you leave any tips sticking out you don't get them frozen. Cover with some straw or similar
if a frosty night is coming! Jim

That's the same three varieties that we planted last year.
