You planted seed potatoes without shoots?

What do other readers think?

So long as they have eyes, I don't really bother about whehter they have
sprouted growth at time of planting or not. Can't say I've noticed nay
problems with the resulting harvest.

I don't buy seed potatoes but I often take old potatoes bought at the
Supermarket out of the cupboard and plant them in the garden 15cms
apart. I suppose they would all have eyes with some starting to sprout.
If ever I run out of potatoes I can generally always dig up a spud or
two in my garden.
