Potatoes are also a big crop in my birth country Finland. Most of the potatoes sold there are grow domestically, so the country may not be listed as a big producer. I was surprised to notice that there was no varieties listed to be from there. But when I started to read the names, I found that many of the Swedish varieties had Finnish names. Swedish language is totally different from Finnish, so I am sure that these names are Finnish. The origin of these varieties may be Finland, but they have got into distribution via Sweden.
