Default Spuds in Bags

What yield should I expect to get from Potatoes grown in bags?

I recently harvested 7 pound of ORLA from two seed potatoes in a plastic used compost bag.(waited until tops started to die back).Gave them two gallon of tomato feed mix twice a week and ensured there was adequate drainage.

That sounds great. I only got 3 ¼ pounds from my first bag.
