Favorite Fingerling
 
I just got the Seed Savers yearbook and am overwhelmed by the potato section. I'm not asking folks to reference the catalog, but I'm hoping that you'll chime in with fingerling varieties that you find outstanding.
Thanks!

We really like French Fingerling and Russian Banana. This year I've ordered Lindzer Deleketess to try, it is an early variety.

My favorite fingerling spuds will be Vitelotte noir and La Ratte.

A Question About Fingerlings....
 
I read that fingerling varieties are "late" maturing.... so, does this mean that they should be hilled so that the stems produce more roots/spuds?

I found out that Yukon Golds are "early" potatoes and only grow spuds on the bottom 6" or so of the soil and are not meant to be hilled.

So I was just wondering about the fingerlings. I have some planted in a build-as-you-grow potato bin.
