Default Recommendations

I was excited to see this forum! Thanks to Tom for his valuable experience and contributions as well.
I would like to have some recommendations for dry potato that (of course) tastes good, stores good and would do well in the midwest. Why dry? I grew up in Maine and my grandparents always grew and stored their own potatoes (and everything else) in their dirt basement. They were eaten often and remain a great comfort food to me. Nothing tasted better than a potato that Nana mashed on the plate with a little butter. It seems to me that they were "dry" as compared to the potatoes that I've grown recently. I really dislike a potato that gets soupy with the addition of even the tiniest amount of butter. While I'm sure there are varieties that can stand on their own without the butter, that is my preference My next garden will be in the midwest, KS to be exact. I like to grow different varieties but have not yet found one to fit this bill. Thanks for any recommendations!
