I wrote my message before I read any of Joe's.  Glad to know I'm not the 
only one.  I'll try this next year!

Joe wrote (snipped):

Another method is to put a tire on the ground, fill it with soil and
plant the potatoes within the tire. Plant two seed potatoes, whole or
halved, about 2 inches deep. Once the potatoes have developed 3 or 4
inches of foliage growth, a second tire can be put on top of the first,
Fill in with more soil, always leaving at least 2 inches of leaf growth
above the soil level. Continue to fill as the plants grow. Once you've
filled in the center of the second tire, continue the stack to a height
of three or four tires. Keep in mind you must always leave about 2 inches
of foliage showing.
