Default How many potatoes to plant, to feed a single person?


Hi all, I'm fairly new to potato-growing. I wonder if anyone can advise how
many spuds I should plant to feed myself only? I tend to eat about one
medium-sized spud a day, on average. So far, I have planted 56 (4 different
harvesting times). My soil is rather clayey and hasn't been cultivated much
but I did dig in some compost. It's still a bit sticky but probably full of
nutrients.

Thanks,

Al
