If there is any vegetable in your growing garden that loves a good challenge it'll be the potatoes. Challenging your potatoes to make even more potatoes by 'hilling' is a common practice. The process is very simple and goes something like this...
1. Plant your potatoes and watch them grow
Once your potato plants grow to about 8inches to 1foot above the ground...
2. Mound soil 3/4 of the way up along the stem (as pictured below)
Eventually the potato plant will grow new shoots underneath the buried portion allowing more potatoes to sprout, hence the popular economical aspect of potatoes.
