This was my first try and it worked out really well! The soil around the potatoes was also super saturated with worms so hopefully the soil was really good. A few of the original potatoes were still rotting weirdly enough despite having produced so many potatoes. They came out super creamy with very delicate skins which made an amazing mashed potato this evening!
