Here's the post back when I planted these: http://henfieldhomestead.blogspot.com/2011/04/potato-planting-time.html
I had intended to plant beans in between the rows, but the potato beetles were already here (June 11) when I planted the beans (June 18th), so if they repelled them I'd be surprised. Fortunately, I really didn't have any problem with the potato beetles (unlike friends across town that got inundated). And, the potato stalks fell over in a strong rainstorm and suppressed the newly emerged bean stalks. So I wouldn't say that approach was worth much.
