How do you start a potato farm in Minecraft?

First, you need to till a Dirt or Grass block with a Hoe; then, you can place a potato into the ground and wait for it to grow. Placing water next to the farmland makes a farm grow faster, so you can make rows of potato plants directly next to a straight line of water, one block below where you plant the potatoes.

How do you plant for potatoes?

To begin with, dig a trench that is 6-8 inches deep. Plant each piece of potato (cut side down, with the eyes pointing up) every 12-15 inches, with the rows spaced 3 feet apart. If your space is limited or if you would like to grow only baby potatoes, you can decrease the spacing between plants.
