Potato ridges need to be maintained to prevent the development of green potatoes. The lush green foliage of the potato plant protects the soil on the ridge. But when the foliage disappears, the ridge is vulnerable:
soil is washed off the ridge by rain
dusting birds knock the ridge down
as the ridge dries out, it cracks, exposing tubers (potatoes)
Maintain the ridge by covering with soil. Do not wait until you see tubers, before correcting the ridge.

By then it is too late, & the exposed potato will be turning green. It is vital to keep a layer of soil over the developing potatoes.
