Unusual and Tasty Varieties of Colored Potatoes AG WORLD Ag World 15-2-34 Your readers may be interested in our unusual and tasty varieties of colored potatoes. Once you eat good flavored potatoes, store spuds just taste like cardboard. There is an incredible market for these potatoes or you can just grow them for the novelty of them. The varieties are mostly "heirlooms", saved by farmers and gardeners around the world because of their great taste and unique appearance. Some of our varieties include Purple Peruvian, Ruby Crescent, Red Mandel, Elmers Blue, Kers Pink, Cherries Jubilee, Yellow Finn, Candy Stripe, and many more. Some are colored only on the outside, some only on the inside and some are colored outside and in. Yellow Finn, for ex-ample, is a supreme baked potato with a yellow flesh that naturally tastes and looks buttered. Rideau potatoes have a bright red skin and a snow white flesh. We also have potatoes with unusual shapes, and giant varieties that really make an impression at county fairs. Profits of $10,000 or more per acre are not uncommon since the market for specialty spuds is growing. Photo shows a purple variety next to a potato developed by Washington State Indians.
