But, if you've tried $300 worth of seed potatoes, I would think you could give us a bit of a rundown on your faves for the various uses?
I have had whole old potatoes turn the boiling water into a milky mess.
It was a while back so I do not remember which one it was but then that after reading quips here and there about potatoes being a, b or c that got me really checking.
As far as favorites: for simple flavor Purple Peruvian , best there is; Bake King fits its name; production Victoria was even better than Kennebec which I have eaten for decades; German Butterball and Maris Piper are two all around that are worth planting repeatedly.
Salem was a handy new one I found a couple of years back.
I generally avoid true reds as they are not great for French Fries and just do not enthuse me, while Purple Viking is probably my second favorite and Desiree is a rare red I truly like, while when all else fails Kennebec do not.
Atlantic, Snowden and Calwhite are great for french fries and potato chips.
I tried Reddale twice as it is supposed to get big but mine have been average at best.
Yukon Gold is one I have never planted
Even though I have favorites I do not repeat regularly except I have hold overs from the year before.
This year all are hold over and I did not separate them when stored so what I have is a crap shoot.
