I can go to HEB if Kroger doesn't have them. I don't know why I've never noticed them. I didn't know there was such a plant and I've never eaten one. I do think they will be easier to grow in containers than the large potatoes would be. They will be easy and fast to cook - split them and fry/sauté in butter or olive oil or Canola oil.
They have a better flavor than other taters. I think my wife made garlic smashed taters when she bought them a while back. They cost a little more, but it is not like 10x or anything like that. I downloaded a tater salad recipe this morning that I may buy some for on Wed when I go to the HEB and try that recipe.
We are getting our menus together for Christmas when we have kids and grands out from Ms. for 4 days. Checking out new recipes, starting plant cuttings, making fruitcake, etc.
