Potato highlight of the week, another good french frier the Clearwater Russet.

Another Tri-State potato variety released in 2009. This potato is a dual purpose russet skinned tuber, with white flesh. It is known for its quantity and quality of marketable potatoes. It fries well out of cold storage and just like Teton Russet it received the McFry standard and is used at McD's.

This variety has really been taking off in the last couple of years and is a large part of potatoes grown in the US now despite being a recently released variety.

Make sure that your potatoes are stored in a cool, dry, and dark environment during the winter before planting begins. When it's time to plant they will "break" dormancy after being planted.

Potato highlight of the week, the Teton Russet.

This cultivar produces medium to large tubers, with shallow eyes, a moderate russeted skin, and white flesh. Teton is an early maturing cultivar with a low tuber set with the potential to produce large tubers. This cultivar has high Vitamin C and protein content for potato. It was added to McDonald's approved list to french fry in 2022.

Make sure to store your potatoes in a cool, dry, dark place during the winter. When the weather warms and the potatoes are planted they will "break" dormancy when planted in the soil.

Potato highlight of the week. The Purple Fingerling.

This cultivar produces lots and lots of little purple skinned, purple fleshed fingerlings. These potatoes have more antioxidants compared to other varieties. Moreover, this cultivar retains its color brilliance better than other varieties when baked, boiled or fried. Like most fingerlings this is not easy to store long term and is susceptible to common scab from soils.

Planting tip of the day. Potatoes like having space to grow, the plants shouldn't be too crowded, even though the seed tubers are small give each one the space it needs to flourish. Plant the seed 4-6 inches in the ground, 10-12 inches apart, in rows that are spaced 24-36 inches apart.

It's time for the weekly potato highlight! This week's highlighted spud is the German Butterball.

This potato produces lots of golden netted skin oval potatoes with butter-yellow flesh. It has an all purpose culinary usage, with an outstanding flavor profile. It produces a large potato plant with white inflorescence.

One of our personal favorites, it is such a good all-around staple to grow and can be delicious prepared in almost any way.
