I used two buckets to wash them. The round bucket has holes in the bottom to rinse them and have the dirt flow out the holes but the potatoes stay. The square bucket, if you hold it and rotate back and forth has a washing machine agitation effect. The potatoes rub against each other and the sloshing helps remove dirt. Anyhow, it would be beyond tedious to clean all of these one at a time. But agitating the dirt off then rinsing them, then agitating them a final time... there was not a single speck of dirt or sand remaining.
Actually... the main trick is to harvest them young. The older they get (the longer they remain in the ground) the harder the dirt is to remove. If they sit in the ground too long they do end up needing to be scrubbed one at a time.
