Are "volunteer potatoes" the ones that grow from spuds you accidentally leave in the ground? This is the second time I read that phrase today.

Yes, I don't know if everybody calls them that, but it seems a lot of people call them that. I miss potatoes every year when I dig them, usually the small ones. I don't think they all make it through the winter here, but enough of them do to grow plants in the spring. You can usually get pretty decent potatoes from the volunteer plants also, that's why I let them grow. :-)
