I overdid my container potatoes!

I planted potatoes in large planting pots (but not 5-gallon containers) and they are going crazy – at least the leaves and stems are. I keep adding a lightweight planting mixture but I am afraid they are totally overcrowded. Is there any help? I did grow potatoes before in northern Minnesota in big containers and they were fine, but the season up there is short and the temps are much cooler.
