Eh, stuff like potatoes isn't too work intensive, takes a couple hours to put them into the soil in March/April, then some weeds have to be occasionally removed every 2 weeks or so (we hack 'em out but you could also use herbicides if you're lazy - won't work against the way too common black nightshade though because it's too closely related to potato) and by the end of June, early potato cultivars can be harvested, stretching to late cultivars ready for harvest by late September, it's always good to diversify a little there to get a long season of freshly available ones
An area our size can be easily maintained by just caring for it on weekends (with everything from planting to harvest being done by hand, without motorized machines but just the right tools), of course if you want to go bigger or even commercial things will take you longer
This year we had a drought though and didn't water anything (besides the tomatoes) so the harvest was significantly smaller compared to previous years - but such an extreme lack of rain is a very rare once per decade thing (usually summers are wet), so in such cases you either have to spend money on irrigation (tap water is expensive as fuck here with €3-4 per cubic metre) or be content with smaller harvest
