I thought I'd ask the forum for opinions- I'd like to try a little something different in addition to my seed red potatoes from last year, and couldn't find a lot in the search feature, so I ordered some purple viking potatoes... Has anyone tried them? Yay? Nay? I do a lot of roasting & boiling, along with some mashing here and there, and am looking for a potato with a different flavor that the fingerlings and red potatoes I always have.
Thanks

Hmm okay. Thank you Maybe I'll go half purple viking and half my regular red potato this year, and see how it works out.DoubleDogFarm wrote:I tried Purple Viking one year with mixed results. I don't think they compare to Yukon Gold, an all purpose potato. Purple viking has a good flavor and makes a nice white mash.
