My grandmother, who was from Texas originally, used to plant a fingerling potato called "Lady Fingers" and it grew quite well here in Alaska. I looked in the SSE 2005 yearbook but do not find any potato with that name. It had tan skin, golden insides and a mild sweet flavor to it. They were plump finger looking, hence the name. Anyone know of these?
