That potatoes have a "heart beat" and are picky about what plants they're paired with. Potatoes have been grown all over the world and in some of the least favorable soils. So, using a good top soil is heaven for them. Don't over-water, plastic is fine as long as there are drain holes and plant different varies in separate containers. Any potato - even ones from the grocery store - can be planted. If you want exotics, order on line. Below is a site for problems. Good luck.

Part depends on your climate and growing season. Successive plantings are the way to go so you continually have potatoes to harvest. I personally do not grow edibles in plastic, but that is just me and my very hot climate. I leave in ground until I want them, but I am in Southern California with no basement or root cellar and my ground does not freeze and humidity here is typically less than 20% (summer it hovers around 10%.)
These sites will provide general tips and I am sure hard core potato growers will have excellent info for you too.
