Following the instructions from NG, yesterday I dug 6 inch furrows and then watered down the soil. Today I planted the red potatoes and the Yukon Gold Potatoes in the furrow, covered with around 3 inches of soil. Planting them around 10 inches apart (maybe a little less), I did not have enough room to also plant the fingerling potatoes.
Also, the ideal planting time is around February 12th, which makes today a little early. So, since there was not enough room, I thought I'd go ahead and wait a week to plant the Fingerling potatoes. I'll buy another two bags of compost to mix with the existing sand and plant them in a new section of the garden - maybe toward the front where this is more sun.
