Are potatoes winter plants or warm plants?

Potatoes are typically considered cool-season crops. They thrive in moderate temperatures, ideally between 60°F and 70°F (15°C to 21°C), and can be planted in early spring or late summer for a fall harvest. While they can tolerate some cold, they are not suited for extreme winter conditions. In warmer climates, potatoes can be grown year-round, but they perform best in cooler weather.
