I do too…they come in bags with a rainbow of colors too. A great source of potassium. Changing my diet from symptom management via restriction to healing via nourishment allows some potatoes and carrots in my LC diet..Not a tray of French Fries.

I was buying a brand of potatoes called Castaways, but it looks like they're discontinued. The distributor was EarthFresh and they grow for food service and Green Giant. The Castaways were russets that were too small for their label brands. Perfect size for us! Too bad the grocery store where I got them closed down because they opened a new one way North of me.

Now I just buy other reduced potatoes when I find them, and if they're already past their prime, partially cook them and freeze them.

I grew the Blackberry potato last year, dug them small. Made a potato salad. A bit strange visually as the mayo turned lavender!!

The russetts have a thick tough skin, for protection during shipping. As a kid I loved the crispy skin stuffed with margarine. Not my thing now.


My mother served potatoes at most dinner meals. Active teenagers eating just 3 meals , a meat, a veg, a potato dish, and no snacks.

The yellow fleshed potatoes have more nutrients, so I don't usually grow white potatoes. Though purple Viking is gorgeous.

Potatoes need a lot of potassium. Fertilizing becomes necessary to meet their needs.

Growing huge potatoes is a science!!

Washing tiny potatoes is pita! But make the best boilers. Funny how while potatoes don't suck up the salt like cut potatoes.

Digging Purple Vikings now.
