Today I harvest potatoes. In a part-shade bed of 3m2, I harvested 5.3 Kg. This is about 17 ton/ha.
I got less number of potato tubers than I expected (maybe because they were in part-shade) but also much larger potatoes than usual. Overall, it is just as fine. We still get a yield on par with the average organic producer!

Compared to last year, we got slightly more potatoes for the same area. Last year we harvested 4.5 Kg from 3m2 (yield 15 ton/ha). The increase was because this summer was considerably better than last year, nevertheless this year I was growing the potatoes in a bed with much less sunshine.
If last year we had potatoes lasting for 3 months, between mid September until December. This year they might last probably until January.
Yes, we don't eat that many potatoes. Just around 1.5 kg of potatoes per month, about 3 meals for a couple; less than once per week.
