Great Flavor
This was the first year we tried growing potatoes. We used 15 gallon bags for our first time. And these were the potatoes we bought. The harvest turned out great and the taste of these potatoes were very flavorful, creamy and delicious. Were as in they are gone already. Definitely will buy these again and I have suggested their purchase to others.

None above, none by its side.
These are the above and beyond potatoes. Flavor is unparalleled. You can just eat these with nothing else. You can boil them for 12 minutes or 20 minutes. They will have the same structural integrity regardless.
If you have a bucket you dont need, fill it with straw and soil. Put some fingerling seed potatoes in there and watch them multiply. Heavenly!

Great potato, no problems
I was very pleased with this potato. It grew vigorously, and had no problems. I had been worried about the blight, but it was not affected, even though my tomatoes got the blight. The potato tastes great too!

Not a success
I did not have good luck with these. I do not believe that the product was to blame, but instead the climate and growing location.
going to try there
I was hoping for a good option that stored well and produced well. I couldn’t find anything for storage but I feel like they will taste great.
I have harvested potatoes before. They were sweet potatoes. I thought I would try the fingerling potatoes to see how successful I might be.
Buttery, nutty, like heirlooms, never had before, wanted a later growing one, it can be used in many ways and, can fit in my small space.
