Paper bag and dark cold cupboard keeps for 2 weeks at max but why are you keeping them for so long anyway?

I recently bought a collage house with a nice garden and I've been thinking, is there even a point to try and grow some potatoes? Like, you know how everyone is always raving about homegrown veggies and you definitely can taste the difference between a homegrown tomato and the plastic garbage in the supermarket for example, but a potato is a potato. Doesn't seem like the once they sell in stores would be that much worse than homegrown ones and it seems like too much work for not really thst much of a prize?

You're so wrong it's unbelieveable.

>mfw recipe just says "potatoes" without specifying what kind
How's the variety in your chosen shithole?
Here the stores segregate potatoes into three main kinds: dense, medium, floury. Exact type varies for each but it say on the bag. You can also buy individual potato of many kinds which are then marked to tell you what exact type it is.
Then there's a few specific fancy potatoes which are just better. Or at least they're more expensive.

>dense, medium, floury.
I wish they did that here, stores here usually just put some retarded label as fresh or old potatoes, or maybe red/yellow/etc.
I really wish they put the real type as a label, like they do in the USA(i think?) so I could know which is more or less starchy before I fuck up my fries or mash

>>14701427
The potato itself may taste like potato but the texture varies.
You try making mash out of dense potatoes and it'll end up as wallpaper paste. Try frying a slice of floury potato and it'll fall apart.

Seriously? Those words are used?

In the US, we specific the name of the potato from russet burbank, norkotah, yukon gold, boniato, sweet, purple inca fingerling, petite red, baby red, white, etc. It's entirely up to you to understand your species, and where on the spectrum of waxy, creamer, to starchy baking style, that they might fall.

>>14701499
I guess that anon is German where taters are labeled either "festkochend", "vorwiegend festkochend" or "mehligkochend", which tells you how dense or how starchy/fluffy they will turn out.

>>14695520
Cause tasty and you can do so many things, from fries, to loaded potatoes, hashbrowns, roast baby potatoes, potato chips, cheesy bites, etc.

>>the things I would do to you.

My grandfather grew his own potatoes, onions, garlic, carrots etc. in his garden (around 250m^2). Tastewise the potatoes were just slightly better, but they were much bigger, which was more practical and had a better texture. He had that fucking loam in his garden though, which has many nutrients that grow big plants, but is a pain in the ass to work with so he needed machines to get through the ground.
In the end it's cheaper to just work some extra hours in your regular job than all the hours of work a garden takes. No questions that herbs and many fruits are worth growing yourself, but definitly not staple foods. Also keep in mind you end with a big amount of potatoes around the same time and you need a cellar to store all those.
