Default Planting potatoes

As the eyes have started growth they will be quite suitable for planting.
The ideal size is similar to an egg. Larger can be cut in half as long as
eyes remain on the halves. Eyes up or down is immaterial unless the eyes
have really long growth.
They will probably be a late variety and the space would have been better
taken by an early variety.
Best Wishes.

Hi,
Can store bought potatoes (forgot I bought them to make for dinner) that

are
rock hard and have developed lots of eyes be planted? If so, do I plant

whole
or cut them up? Are the eyes planted down or up?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Donna
