The Maine Potato Lady

I just went back through my notes from a couple more years and found the following. I should have reviewed this before buying this year’s seed potato, as it seems that I bought one that I thought was small and dry :slightly_smiling:

2013:
Purple Majesty- A bit dry, interesting flavor. Most too small. Brightly colored inside.

Yellow Finn- Better than PM. Quite russeted. By far the best producing of the 3.

French Fingerling- A bit red inside too. Not bad. Almost as good as S&S. Only 1 large potato. Rest are quite small. Poor crop. Note- I’ve had French Fingerling later and been very pleased with them- makes a nice moist baked potato

2014:
Purple Passion- Quite good, with a dry, rich taste, a bit nutty.

S&S goldens- a bit sweeter and juicier, but the purples crisp up nicely

Russian Bananna- (no note at time, but I don’t think I was impressed with them- middle of road)

Summer Pic (from when the notes were taken):

Another shot from the last of the season on November 8th, this time before washing. There are also a few Rose Finns (I don’t remember much about them, other than that I wasn’t fond of them) mixed in here. I think they were leftovers from Whole Foods, which I planted when they sat around long enough to get eyes.
