Tomatoville® Gardening Forums - View Single Post - What to plant in Wi for new/fingerling and storage?

BackyardFarm · December 20, 2015

I'm thinking of buying about 6-8 pounds of seed potatoes, probably will buy three (maybe four?) kinds.
I would like to try a fingerling potato, a red skinned potato (my husband's favorite) that will make small potatoes and also store fairly well, and then I'm thinking yukon golds for most of my storage potatoes? Something similar?
I would love to try an all blue potato too since they're so pretty and just would be fun.

So what do you recommend? Fedco seems to have decent prices for small quantities but not much on whether a variety stores well.

Last year I waited too long and didn't order in time so this year I'm going to order my seed potatoes and sweet potato slips in Jan.
