Right?
Ok,I have this one sprouting to be planted.I also found a package of small fingerling potatoes locally.If they ever sprout,I'll plant those too.
I was actually kind of trying to find a russet type potato to plant,but may have to wait another season,as I only have so many containers.
Thanks for the suggestion of German Butterball.Nice to know that these are flavorful.

Our local Rural King has Yukon Golds and Red potatoes at .39/lb for seed potatoes. I ordered Rose Finn Apple, Russian Banana and Magic Molly from The Maine Potato Lady.
I like fingerlings, on a good year you plant 1# and get 10# at harvest. Gran Teton Organics is another good place to get a lot of varieties.
