growing potatoes in containers

Question

Can I plant multiple layers of seed potatoes in a tall 55 gallon barrel that is prepped with drainage holes, rocks for drainage, soil and then the seed potatoes? Will planting in layers increase my yield or cause more problems when fighting for space to grow? Thank you.
