Sprouted our own and had good results last year. Small raised bed. Alaska gold variety

I am in Shelby County with some acreage in Fayette.

Could use some recommendations for plain old russets or anything.
 
I grew up on kennebachs they are a long season white potato, best for baking and mashed taters IMHO.
Red Pontiac is a very good short season potato, we always had them ate before they finished. They made the best stewed new potatoes ever!
Now that I'm older I have developed a taste for the russets and the Amish will sell them to me for less than I can grow them for.
 
I have a new spot for mine. Tilled in the fall and planted crimson clover over it. Added chicken manure and wood ash in the winter, and recently tilled some sand into it. I've got some red ones to put in it soon.
