Yet another seed potato question

I have an old wormery that I tried putting potatoes in last year, but I did maincrop ones that just grew huge in the bottom of the bin.
Which potatos could I try this year that'll keep growing up the stems so I can make the most of the depth of the container?
Thanks
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Yes, but it didn't make any difference.

    Perhaps try some Charlottes which are early salad potatoes? Can get them in the 99p stores!
