Looking for the 'incredible' potato I remembered from 'childhood'!! Hoping to find it in the 'old' varieties since this was back in the 1940's!! 'Today's' potatoes are just not the 'same' at all!!! Those 'old' potatoes had 'flavor'--wonderful flavor!! No one seems to know the name of the ones I'm looking for!! I recently found it in a tiny NH 'diner'!! They didn't know 'what' variety it was either!!!

From reading about this potato, I want to see if it is resistant to the Colorado potato beetle as advertised.

I have never grown potatoes. What do I do?
Are these determinate potatoes?
