Originating as the staple crop of Andean culture, potatoes are a nightshade, in the family Solanaceae. They are related to eggplant, peppers, tomatoes, and tobacco. Potatoes come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and storage length; we grow many different types. Different potatoes are good for different types of dishes, so if you’re in the mood for something specific, be sure to ask!

How to use them:

• In soups, stews, and casseroles

• Chopped and roasted alone or with other vegetables

• Baked whole

• Grated and then pan-fried to make hash

• Roasted or boiled, and used to make potato salad; we like to bake them whole, then chop and add to oil, vinegar, mustard, dill, parsley, salt, pepper, peas, pickles, and hard-boiled eggs

How to store them: Always keep potatoes in a dark place, such as an opaque bag! Cured potatoes store best in a cool, dry area at 50-55*F (such as your cellar). We mostly sell fresh potatoes, which keep best in the fridge - put them in a paper bag inside a plastic bag for best storage length.
