What to do with a potato plant

Fidgitbones kindly and rapidly identified my mystery plant as a potato. I put a few that sprouted from the compost over there last summer but thought they died. So now that I have a potato plant, is there anything I should do for it? Will it be OK to eat? I think the potatoes came from a massive bag of generic Tesco potatoes. I'm embarrassed I didn't know what it was. Obviously I've never grown potatoes before. They always seemed complicated.

It will grow potatoes.I'd just let it get on with it although you can do all the earthing up etc etc. This helps it produce more tubers.
Bonus, just remember not to eat any green ones as they are poisonous.
