Potatoes


Hi. I hope someone can give me some good tips on growing potatoes in
SQFT raised beds.
I plan to do it for the first time this year but have found so far
absolutely no information on SQFT spacing and cultivation practices.
I have read about the trick of planting them in  old tires
and continually adding tires and soil as they grow but that technique
would not be suitable for my garden.
I don't want to plant a whole lot; just enough to have a few meals
with nice new potatoes. How close together can I plant? Is it necessary to
keep heaping up soil around the growing plant or is a good thick
mulch sufficient.
Any advice and suggestions based on your experience would be very
much appreciated.
Thanks.
Eric.
