As your potatoes begin to sprout and come out of the ground make sure that you are covering them with shovel or trowel(depending of the plant size) full piles of dirt. This allows you to grow potatoes in looser dirt while not having to dig a deep hole when you harvest in the fall. I do a daily run through checking for new sprouts and covering with dirt. I continue to cover the potatoes daily until I can't anymore due to the hill being too tall for the row space provided, or when I run out of dirt.
