Anyone Plant Their Potatoes Mid-March

I've never had any real success growing potatoes, but this year, I am going to give it my all! 

My great grandfather had this philosophy that potatoes must be planted on March 17th, St Patricks Day every year or they will not produce the yield that he wanted.

I would like to give that a try but seeing as how today is March 6th and we have 5-6 inches of snow on the ground, I don't see how that is going to work out.  I sure wish I would have tilled them up a spot last fall but live and learn I guess.

When do you plant your potatoes in the ground?  Just leave me a comment so that we can all learn how to grow potaotes with great success!
