Fill it up to within an inch or two of the top rim.

Thirded and do let us know how many spuds you get

I fill to just below the brim - to allow me room to water as the tubers are swelling!

Same here. I have had to move one tub outside 'cos there is no room at the inn. Will just have to cover it if the nights get chilly.

ETA: Woohoo, I am no longer a seedling!

Thank you all. I was just worried in case the swelling tatoes pushed the soil out of the pot - I am such an optimist!

I have a couple of these outdoors and filled just short of the top (about 5-10 cm) but found it difficult to keep up with watering (despite last year's summer- very little rain gets into the barrel past the leaves). This year I cut about 8 or ten 1cm holes in the base in the hopes roots would find their way out into the soil below and leave the plants less vulnerable to a dry day. Here's hoping!!

Yep, get it filled up to about a couple of inches below the rim, leave room for watering, thats what I do and it works for me.
