Six pounds is rather high for this potato except under ideal conditions, whixch are rare. I have about ten more plants and will check each weight when they are harvested for the root cellar.
I know nothing about growin' taters in Canada, but here in Kentucky 6lbs. or less per hill is considered a crop failure..

I expect that hill would have added another pound or two if left to grow undisturbed. note the new stolons emerging from the mother.
