We are digging up our potatoes here in Virginia. we planted 4 varieties this year. Purple (not sure of the actual name), Kennebec, Russet and Reds. Next year - we will be just planting the Kennebec and Reds. we found they are the most prolific this year and have given us the best yield per foot. My favorite way to eat/prepare them is roasted with a little rosemary.
