Default transplanting potatoes?

Hello,

I try every year to have a few potatoes in big pots outside (I'm in
Edinburgh). Usually, I have a fairly bad harvest, but you know, it's
good to have a few new potatoes direct from the garden! I thought one of
the reason for the low yield is late planting, so, I thought I could try
planting earlier. Unfortunately my big pots are busy with tulips at the
moment, so, I wonder if people have experience transplanting potatoes,
i.e., starting them in smaller pots and re-potting them later when the
tulips are done? Is this feasible or the don't like that?
Thanks for any advice
