I love them all! 🥔 baked, fried or mashed- serve me up:)
Thanks for the great info once again! Was nice to see you guys finally get down to your roots;)
I see what you did there! 🤣
Fascinating video thanks. Many of the varieties you mention are rare or unknown here in the UK. But, I love purple majesty and the starchy/ floury Shetland black, great for absorbing butter and sauces.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dear Guys,
Great programme once again. Thank you for promoting a great variety of potatoes and giving their characteristics. It is good to see a nice variety at farmers’ markets these days.

Wondering if you could give a tutorial on how to grow potatoes start to finish? Struggling in New Mexico.😕

Let us know if you have more questions.
In my three years of trying I haven't had success with potatoes, either in-ground or in containers. I don't think my soil is right for them, and I probably didn't get the mix right for the containers, either. Do you have any advice about the soil for potatoes?
Aside from moving to East Idaho, make sure it is sandy, well draining soil. That is the most important thing, but you will still have to water often or you will experience drought stress. Ideally with a pH around 6.0-6.5, though a range of 5.0-6.5 will work.
