After you’ve cut the potatoes into pieces, you should leave them out to dry in the sun for a few days.
Leave Them Out To Dry
Once they dried out, the sprouts are ready to be planted. You should plant your potatoes in early spring (spring doesn’t have to come at the same time in all areas, so keep that in mind).
The reason potatoes are so generally beloved is because they’re so easy to grow! They need very little care and you’ll be spending very little time taking care of them.
A clear-cut sign that your potatoes are ready to be harvested is the foliage dying. The top-most part of foliage will completely die to let you know that it’s ready to be harvested.
The part that grows sprouts (which are essentially the roots) is called 'the eye' of the potato. This is the part you'll plant when you're planting your potatoes.

Sweet potatoes just need to be peeled and chopped before sticking them in the oven. You can also make mashed sweet potatoes!
