Answer :

Yes and no. I didn’t set out to grow potatoes. Just had an old potato that started sprouting, so I stuck it in a pot. Mostly interested in drawing it. But when I threw it out, I did notice that several small potatoes had sprouted under the dirt. I’m thinking if I can grow them quasi-inadvertently in a 5” pot, you’re good to go.
