Can you plant potatoes in the tropics with 30°C temperature and get a good harvest?

It says plant April May - the reason, your are growing into the coolest time of the year and less likely to have massive rainfall then. Also pit them in a raised bed if your ground can be wet a lot. Free draining soil.
