I do not like growing potatoes in ground because digging them back up can damage the potatoes and is a whole lot of work.  So I plant them in containers with potting soil.  I mix some of my raised bed soil in with the potting mix as well to help make the potting mix go further.  I plant in 20 gallon pots (or 10 gallon for smaller verieties) which works perfectly.  These cloth pots are very inexpensive online.  I got my 10 gallon pots for just under $2 each.  Here is a link to each.

Growing Potatoes in containers could not be easier and if you are growing in your backyard It is far better than dedicating an entire raised bed to these tubers.  They will come back year after year on you and make growing anything else almost impossible.  But growing in containers means you can control this.  You will be able to harvest all of the potatoes, and therefor none are left in the ground to re-seed next year when you least expect it.  Plus it keeps your valuable raised bed real-estate open for growing other plants.
