Plant seed potatoes directly into the garden up to three weeks before your last frost date. Larger seed potatoes can be cut into pieces; allow cut surfaces to dry for a day before planting to reduce rot risk. Space each seed potato 12 inches apart, with 24 inches between rows.
Harvest Austrian Crescent Potato Mini when the foliage begins to yellow and die back, signaling tuber maturity. Carefully dig around plants to avoid damaging the small potatoes, which are more fragile than full-size varieties. Allow harvested potatoes to cure in a cool, dark place for a few days before storage to toughen the skin.
