Could anybody let me know if I am able to just plant an ordinary
potato.. and what the difference is between the 2?

Sorry for the (most probably) basic level question.. I am very new to
gardening/vegetable growing so am just finding my feet. x

Try trash can potatoes:

We have a few barrels/types of them around the yard, just old potatoes, cut
up, keep them covered and don't eat green.
