Hello,

I would suggest that you first do some research on to how potatoes form roots. You might want to look at this article on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato.

Be sure to learn about potatoes’ eyes; the eyes of potatoes are the parts of the plant that actually generate roots, these are the dark spots that you see on the surface of a potato.

Hope this helps, and Good Luck
