Default potato runners?

I just went out and dug my first hill of potatoes. After several years of failure I decided to give potatoes one more try. The 1st plant had only one small but while digging around I found a runner coming from the next row, double checked to make sure it was a potato and sure enough there are potato leaves on the end. The next hill yielded 3 medium size and I found another runner. Do these produce potatoes? I reburied the runners and will mulch, etc. if there is a chance for harvest. Thank you - piegirl
