I dug the iris potatoes today. The Red Poniac out produced the Yukon Gold by far. I had one hill of Yukon Golds that had two very large potatoes, but both were rotten. I've never had that happen before.
These were the potatoes from the best hill of reds


This was the hill with the most uniform reds


This was the hill with the least amount of reds


This was the largest hill of Yukon Golds


This was the smallest hill of Yukon Golds


This was the hill of Yukon Gold with the two soft mushy rotten potatoes

Both of the hills with the least were on the ends of the rows.

The most consistent variety I've grown is Caribe. Unfortunately, they are not long keepers, but I never grow enough to worry about long-term storage. I've also had good success with German Butterball. I grow everything in Smartpots, so my yield is probably a little lower.

Except for the few rotten ones, your potatoes look great, Tom. Occasionally, I've had a chipmunk get into my potatoes and chew them up a bit. One even chewed through my Smartpot

Just first tried the German Butterball this year and very happy with them -- very productive, great tasting, and friends that grew them before said they stored well. The plants were huge compared to the russets and Red Gold potatoes that I grew -- but the yields were proportionately large!.

I might have to try those German Butterballs

I think you will love them, Tom !

Where do you get your Butterball seed potatoes?

Must see if I can get them here.

I ordered mine from Gurney's this year -- but since then I've seen them in other seed catalogs as well.

I've ordered from Ronnigers before, as well.

Off topic
But I just had to ask @Gleni
Glen what is the baby bird in your avatar?
I can't contribute beautiful potato pics cuz the gophers ate most of mine this year

An Emu?

Lol. No, it's a baby Masked Lapwing (Vanellus miles).

Here is mum. Those legs are the baby's legs. She had 4 - now 3 are left.

Ohmygosh -- I would so love to visit Australia for some sort of birding/wildlife/plant life tour... the difference from here to there is so interesting!!

Are they domesticated?

No Tom. They are very aggressive to strangers and predators. They are aerially adept, vocal and extremely sharp-eyed.
However, once they get to know you they don't attack. This subspecies has that well developed yellow spur on the wing (you can see it in the photo) with which they strike when they dive-bomb. These ones walk the babies through ten properties (only 5 are occupied) and are protected by the owners, whom the birds are quite accepting of (and cross two roads in doing so).
