Those are BIG Spuds!
Yesterday, I started digging my potato crop. I planted (if you remember from a springtime post) 2 kinds. Yukon Golds & Red Pontiacs. I only dug about 6 plants ...We have enjoyed a few small new potaoes as they began their journey to becoming "Big Potatoes." Never in my life have I grown such Giant spuds! The one in my husbands hand weighed almost 2 pounds!! The average ones so far harvested weighed 1 1/2 pounds... I was afraid they would be hollow but they are firm & delicious... (The egg ) in comparison was a Jumbo offering from one of our hens and we thought that was big! I wonder what the red ones will look like? We will check on those today... and find a good place to store these beauties for the coming months..and with 15 more plants to dig I could be even more surprised...

OMGosh..those potatoes look like rocks!! and entire meal for two people!!
We just dug about 10# a couple of days ago and still have a couple of rows to harvest yet. I only planted a few, so whatever I get i will be satisfied! Yours look amazing!
Nothing like a good potato. So much better then the ones you get at the stores after they have sat around. You have turned into a real farm girl!

Oh how I love home grown potatoes. We used to grow them and they were so tasty! Looks like you must be part Irish...or not.
