I buy my seed potatoes online or from the garden centre so I know what variety I’m growing, how long they take and how much space they need.   Different varieties of potatoes are class as either first early second early or maincrop. First earlies are the quickest to grow giving you ‘new potatoes’ Second earlies take a few weeks longer and maincrop - think your big roasting / mashing spuds are maincrop and take 18-20 weeks. I grow mostly first and second earlies in containers because they are quick and don’t need as much space.   Leaving your potatoes in a light area to sprout is a process known as ‘chitting’ you don’t have to do it it just gets your plants growing quicker.
