- 1). Fill a 1 pint Mason jar about two-thirds full of water. Add a pinch of Epsom salts to the water and swirl the Mason jar gently to dissolve the salts. This may seem like very little salt, but more would only wilt your potato.
- 2). Choose a potato with plenty of eyes on it and rinse off the dirt under cool water. Gently dry the potato with a clean towel.
- 3). Pierce the potato about 2 inches from the top with six toothpicks, pushing them halfway into the potato so they radiate outward like wheel spokes.
- 4). Place the potato in the jar so the bottom half sits in the water and the top half sits above the lip of the jar, supported by the toothpicks.
- 5). Set the jar in a sunny area. The potato should sprout roots within a week, soaking up the salty water to nourish itself.
- 6). Change the water weekly, rinsing out the jar and adding fresh water with a fresh pinch of Epsom salts. When the potato plant grows one true leaf, you may plant it in soil.
