Growing potatoes in a bag

These are pieces of potatoes from a grocery store. When we bought them they did not look like this. They looked like potatoes without the eyes sticking out. Eyes are the things that are sticking out and they grow when the potatoes have been sitting around awhile.

When you potatoes with eyes growing out in soil, you can grow new potatoes. We put these potatoes in soil. We put them in a bag my mom bought from the Dollar Store.

We covered the potatoes with a little more soil. We also watered.

The potatoes will start to sprout leaves. I know this because we have another potato plant growing in a bag in the backyard. When you put more soil in the bag, and give it water and sun, it will continue to grow. The potatoes grow inside the dirt. Potatoes are root vegetables.

I like growing because we can mashed potatoes or french fries or just eat carrots and potatoes.
