| − | Since each step is <math>2</math> feet, his garden is <math>30</math> by <math>40</math> feet. Thus, the area of <math>30(40) = 1200</math> square feet. Since he is expecting <math>\frac{1}{2}</math> of a pound per square foot, the total amount of potatoes expected is <math>1200 \times \frac{1}{2} = \boxed{\textbf{(A) }600}</math>
