Interesting subject.
I remember folks in the neighborhood who would cut the seed potato, then dip the cut surfaces in air-slaked lime and immediately plant them.
One neighbor insisted that the eyes had to be pointing up when planted.
One neighbor would lightly step on each piece after dropping it.
One neighbor would dry the cut pieces a few days like the original poster mentioned.

It seems like potatoes are pretty forgiving. A prolonged wet season before they come up has always been my biggest problem. Last year I struck out. Twice.
