Sprouts in storage.

I am actually in a similar situation with some unique potatoes I got originally from Tom Wagner, I saved tubers from 14 varieties for spring planting and I got 2 or 3 breaking dormancy now. I took a "cutting" to try to get plants indoors and maybe set tubers this spring. My idea is to plant those seed tubers later in the summer for late fall harvest thus having those break dormancy later next year. I think that info is valuable for people that can benefit short dormancy potatoes (Southern usa/tropics). We, the northeners need longer storageability.

What are the potatoes that are you growing beeman?
