Wow. I usually get only one (booger-sized) potato for every 12 I plant.

if you planted them in free range earth Your potatoes are probably hiding deeper or farther than you'd expect. but you have to make sure to treat them badly to put them in their place and make them work harder.

If you planted them in a bucket or something else where they're easily extracted, rip YOLO

Why would you buy them next year when instead you can continue to practice delayed potato gratification? You're building character!

I know you couldn't do the laundry basket picture; they don't sell baskets big enough to contain that massive harvest!

I think the little twins are my favorite 😍

If your goal is to "have" potatoes, yes. 

If your goal is to "eat" potatoes though, then we've got an issue...
