“The Kennebec were stellar.”

That is the variety I always sold to Market Growers when I worked for Jung’s.

I really like Red Norland and once in a while I’ll amuse myself with Fingerlings.

One year I started digging Yukon Gold, back when they were the ‘New, New Thing.’ I was SO proud of my crop - until I turned them over. Voles had eaten EVERY underside of EVERY potato I had grown. :(

Wisconsin is 2nd only to Idaho for potato production, so along with beer and cranberries and Racine Kringle, we’re pretty much set, LOL! ;)
