You can put a whole potato in shallow water...the eyes on the potato grow roots...or cut an eye about an inch thick off a potato and set it half covered in water, roots start growing in about 4 days and then can be planted in dirt.

the part of the potato that's closes to the ground, because the whole body of the potato can grow roots.

The little spots called "eyes". When a potato grows roots, this is where they are formed.

If you let a potato just sit around for weeks, it will sprout stems that you can break off and plant in the ground. I've done that with red potatio and sweet potato and its flourishing.
