I would have to read up on that a little...I don't know anything about TPS...well,I don't know much.

Can anyone maybe give me a short definition of a fingerling?

Is the term fingerling used to describe any elongated potato?I was in one of the supermarkets before we moved here,and saw some small elongated potatoes.They were all on the smallish size (maybe the size of a thumb) and they were of various lengths.Maybe they had been picked over and all that were left were small potatoes,but when I read fingerling,that is what I envision.

Thanks.

on edit:I got my answer about fingerlings...just about everything you want to know is somewhere on the 'net.

A fingerling potato is a small, stubby, finger-shaped type of potato which may be any heritage potato cultivars.
