Thanks Larry,
What we tried this year was Kennebec,(Good success), but when we tried to make French fries they just soaked up the grease and turned mushy.The Russet Burbank, makes one terrifically good french fry, or baked potato.We think they were grown over in Idaho,at least by our searching on computer.They are expensive for seed per pound,but were going to try them next year.Were not doing acreage,just big rows and newly opened ground.
We even planted some red pontiac potatoes,,(for the puppy) they did good also,but same success for french fries.
Mc Donalds uses Burbank along with quite a few fast food places, and Orida uses them for their product lines(chips,fries,hash browns).Orida sure was fussy,needed specific sizes,climate controlled for storage,otherwise they wouldn't buy them.The buyer would make a special trip up to inspect them, if it didn't meet their requirements, they would refuse to buy them.
We're going to give it a go,even though the seed is expensive,just planning for next year.
Link below is one place we found that handle the seed.
Regards ,LOU
