Do you just get back the same old potato at harvest time?

My mother had a bag of sprouting potatoes so I just took them all and planted them. I knew I should probably cut them up into eye sections but I had little faith that something that grew under a cupboard was going to survive outside in the spring sunlight for very long. Well, silly me! They're the best growing things in the entire garden. I have some beautiful healthy looking leaves/vines coming up now.

Will I just get back the same old potato or will some little potatoes magically appear below ground? How does this whole thing work, exactly?

Thx.
Giselle
