100 m^2 = 0.01 ha, so the implied yield here is 100 t/ha, which is about 2-5x the typical yield. Let's assume you can get $10,000 retail out of a single hectare (that assumes $2/kilo at a more reasonable yield). Farmers typically only see about 1/10th of that, so it'll take 100x more land to produce the stated amount of revenue - about $1,000 per hectare rather than per 100 square meters. Find 100 hectares of land (probably doable with a minor 1-2 million dollar investment) and keep your inputs down and you're on easy street!
To be completely fair, 100ha of agricultural land in the countryside in Spain will set you back much less than 1-2M€, but yeah, your calculations seem more believable
If you want to make money farming, you don't grow potatoes. They are possibly the cheapest thing you can grow. Instead you grow salad greens, a cash crop.
