Southern Exposure and Maine Potato Lady have yellow potato onions now. The Seed Savers Exchange member listings are also always a good place to try. I have grown them since 2009 but I'd have to look up what company they came from. Some had nice size at over 2". They had hardly any tops, yet formed nice onions. They do better if you dig them up each year and replant separating the bulbs. The next year the small bulbs grow into a big bulb, and the big bulbs divide into a cluster of bulbs. They did not take the heat of summer here in Ohio, and the tops died off pretty early, but the ones left in the ground came back in the fall just fine and that's a good time to plant the ones you dug up, or a little before that. They sometimes form flowers and seeds too.
