Default Most expensive potato

Does anyone have tasted the French potato 'La Bonnotte', which is claimed as the most expensive potato - 1 kg costs (sometimes) up to 500 euro. ~ $340 per pound

Yeah, I'll leave that one on the shelf too and buy myself 7-8 full tanks of gas. Thank you!

I remember reading about this potato before but it was listed as something five euro per kg, not 500.

Just looked up where I'd read about it before: The Rolls Royce of Potatoes.

That's still a little more than I'd pay for a potato, but maybe if I were splurging...

These 5 euros are much more believable!

After your post found that page:

Someone once bought 1 kg. for 400 euro and after that:
