Looking for tasty potatoes

Lilypon · August 12, 2009

So far I've grown Pontiac, Viking, Purple Viking, Yukon Gold, All Red, Norland, Russet Burbank and a blue (so long ago I'm not sure of it's name). This year I'm growing Caribe, AC Peregrine Red, and Goldrush.

This is a selection of seed potatoes available to me: http://www.seedpotatoes.ca/ecatalogue.htm

Are there any on that list that are a "must" to grow? I would really like to try potatoes that have impressed others (I've grown a few duds over the years).

(I'm adding Irish Cobbler here so I don't forget to look for a source for it.......I saw it listed at a Canadian site (unfortunately not a seed selling one).

I saw at another one of their sites that they are also growing LaRatte (which I'm sure I've read is very good so I'm hoping they will have it for sale next year).

BTW has anyone seen seed potatoes of Klondike Rose?
