The number of potatoes per plant varies depending on growing conditions, variety, and care, but generally:
- You can expect about 5 to 10 potatoes per plant on average
- Yields in weight terms are commonly around 3 to 5 pounds per plant in fertile, well-draining soil
- Some plants can produce from 3 up to 25 potatoes, depending on conditions
- Typical yields per plant range from about 1 to 2.5 pounds of potatoes, with some gardeners reporting even higher yields with good spacing and care
In summary, a typical potato plant produces roughly 5 to 10 tubers, weighing around 3 to 5 pounds total under good conditions.
