Have been planting potatoes in straw since 1975. Works wonders, especially if your soil is not sandy and loose. Easy to harvest, just pull the straw back a little and pick your potatoes. Small new potatoes are ready when the green beans are for a mess of green beans and new potatoes and the remaining potatoes can be left to grow to larger potatoes.
