It you only have 32 ft length...is better to stagger them so make 2 rows in the 4ft width make each potato plant 18 inches from center to center on the first row, That fits 20 plants. Start the second row staggered also with 18 inches spacing at the end each plant is going to have good space around for air circulation.

Oh I have as many rows as I need, I have acres to work with. But my gardening style is the 4 foot rows. That's what we keep and rotate. I can have as many rows of potatoes as necessary. Also, Should different potatoes be seperated from each other? I am not keeping seed, but I will be keeping seed potatoes for the next year.
By the way, loved your writings on french fries. I had no idea it could be so complicated. Ours get soggy...now I know why! The only thing we have perfected in french fry making, is the oil we use. We have decided grapeseed oil is where it's at! Expensive, but the best IMO. Good thing we don't eat them often or we would need to get second jobs
