Are you kidding... potatoes take 7-14 days just to shoot and start growing-no way in hell are you going to get potatoes the size of a golf ball in a few weeks" let alone twice the size!!

Start with good quality seed potatoes, with cut edges dried well. Plant in well-tilled soil about 6" deep. Keep the soil evenly watered, but not wet or soggy or they will rot. For fertilizer, keep the nitrogen low and the phosphorus high else you will end up with lots of growth in the leaves but not much of anything below ground. A 6-24-24 fertilizer is ideal for potatoes in most locations. As the plant matures, mound up the soil around the plants to keep the growing potatoes from being exposed to light.
