My grandfather always used a pitchfork for digging potatoes. Insert the tines at an angle well below where the potatoes should be, leverage down on the handle, and up pops the potatoes on top of the tines. Shake a few times to shake off the excess dirt. I haven’t tried this myself since all of my potatoes have been grown in a pot, but I do remember watching him and my uncles dig the new potatoes every year.
Talking about fork for digging, Johnny’s have a special 10 tines broadfork specifically designed for digging root crop. At nearly 200$, it is a tad pricey and might be hard to justify on a tiny farm, though.
