Gee tessa that would drive me mad having to grow only what the mafia have on offer,mind you your potatoes in the down under thread look nice.The whiteish lol one in the photo (moie-moie)is the families favourite,strong flavoured and firm, makes great potato salad.I`ve been growing that one for over twenty years.
Is there some way that you could source some older varieties over there in Aussie through heirloom seed companys, maybe theres someone on Ozgrow who does ?
We are lucky here in NZ in that the Maori grew a lot of there potatoes from the seed berries, which lead to a large number of interesting varieties that are still available if you know where to look.
