Potato Growth?

This is my "Mr. Potato" variety potato's growth from June 2 til June 16. Does this look like decent growth for 2 weeks? I transplanted it into my garden on May 26th from a local nursery where I bought it about that size.

Looks good, I would hill it up so only about 3 inches of the plant shows.

I've never heard of that variety. The growth looks ok, but something doesn't look quite right. Maybe the foliage on that variety is supposed to be a bit lightweight. I'm growing some basic russets and the foliage is very robust in comparison. Just my observation.

Hmmm...maybe our local weather? It's been the longest in 13 years without a 90F degree day, (tho today we're supposed to get there). Maybe temps are a reason? Just recently it's started to increase in size a bit more than it had been.

Not sure how to hill...am I burying foliage?
