Growing enough potatoes to sustain yourself much less multiple people, a plant that needs 90-120 days between planting and harvest, isn’t a reliable plan. It’s definitely one of the best options for supplementing fresh foods but it absolutely should not be the foundation of a persons survival prep.
Oh, yeah - I 100% agree. I was just trying to convey how ludicrously easy it is to grow your own. There’s no way you should base an entire survival strategy on just potatoes, despite how plausible Matt Damon made it seem.

Duckweed and algae are much easier to grow and grow a hell of a lot faster. They can also be used to clean your water.
