You can not buy seeds for potatoes. Most people don't know this. You plant your old potatoes with the eyes (roots) on them, and the roots will produce a new plant.

I grew up where my parents every year would plant the potatoes that have sprouted, and the crop was great. If there are 5 sprouts on one potato, cut the potato into the 5 sections, and plant them for 5 new plants

Sure you can, but you may not get the crop you did with the original seed potatoes.

As long as they're not a hybrid type. You can use them as long as they're not rotten and still have "eyes" on them.
