The potatoe part isnt going to get bigger...
It's shriveling up and dying so it's using all its stored energy in a last dying grasp for survival...
You need to fully bury it, or chop off the bits where it grew sprouts and store it like a regular one till you plant it. Neither way is guaranteed, but they're both better chances than exposed like that.
Ah, appreciate that
So if I bury it in deeper dirt, should be good to go?
Probably.
I mean, you should take the time to Google it if you want it to turn out well.
But in general bury a tuber and it'll grow. It's basically just a root that stores crazy amounts of energy. They all evolved to have that part buried underground.
