It would be ok to have those in one large tray while they are sprouting and then put them in large pots later. The 12 inch pots will not be big enough by summer. Once they really get growing the tubers can get large if they are getting the right conditions. You want them have plenty of room so you can have a good harvest. The pots depth is not as important the width. I think the fake half whiskey barrels at Home Depot or Lowes would be good.
Why not buy a full barrel of whiskey drink it all cut it in half and use it as planters.
