  • Potato Glossary
    A Potato Glossary A Potato Glossary by Richard E. Tucker Last revised 15 Sep 2016 Copyright © 2016 by Richard E. Tucker Introduction This glossary has been prepared as a companion to A Potato Chronology. In that work, a self-imposed requirement to limit each entry to a single line forced the use of technical phrases, scientific words, jargon and terminology that may be unfamiliar to many, even to those in the potato business. It is hoped that this glossary will aid those using that chronology, and it is hoped that it may become a useful reference for anyone interested in learning more about potatoes, farming and gardening. There was a time, a century or more ago, when nearly everyone was familiar with farming life, the raising of potatoes in particular and the lingo of farming in general. They were farmers themselves, they had relatives who farmed, they knew someone who was a farmer, or they worked on a nearby farm during their youth. Then, nearly everyone grew potatoes in their gardens and sold the extra. But that was a long ago time. Now the general population is now separated from the farm by several generations. Only about 2 % of the US population lives on a farm and only a tiny few more even know anyone who lives on a farm. Words and phrases used by farmers in general and potato growers in particular are now unfamiliar to most Americans. Additionally, farming has become an increasingly complex and technical endeavor. Research on the cutting edge of science is leading to new production techniques, new handling practices, new varieties, new understanding of plant physiology, soil and pest ecology, and other advances too numerous to mention.

  • A Foodservice Guide to Fresh Potato Types POTATOES
    THE PERFECT POTATO A Foodservice Guide to Fresh Potato Types POTATOES. THE PERFECT CANVAS FOR MENU INNOVATION. Potatoes aren’t just popular: they’re the #1 side dish in foodservice. You know that baked, mashed, roasted or fried, they have the remarkable ability to sell whatever you serve with them, enhancing presentations and adding value and appetite appeal. Now that you can tap into the intriguing shapes, colors and flavors of today’s exciting new potato types, innovation is easier than ever. No wonder so many chefs, from casual to fine dining, are reinventing potatoes in fresh new ways. So go ahead, grab a handful of potatoes and start thinking big. 1 A SPUD FOR ALL SEASONS AND REASONS. There are more than 4,000 potato varieties worldwide—though only a small fraction is commercialized. In the U.S., about 100 varieties are sold throughout the year to consistently meet the needs of the market. All of these varieties fit into one of five potato type categories: russet, red, white, yellow and specialty (including blue/purple, fingerling and petite). GET CREATIVE! We’ve created these at-a-glance potato type charts to help you find the right potato for any culinary purpose. Use them as a source of inspiration. Even when a potato type is recommended for a given application, another type may also work well to create a similar effect—or even a completely different, yet equally appealing result. Experiment with the types you have access to in new ways you haven’t tried. That’s the key to true menu innovation.

  • Fresh Market Potato Varieties Available for Small Scale Growers
    FRESH MARKET POTATO VARIETIES FOR SMALL SCALE POTATO GROWERS Walter De Jong Associate Professor School of Integrative Plant Science Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 Important criteria when considering which potato variety to grow include: 1) Do my customers want to buy it? 2) Does the variety grow well on my farm? 3) Is disease-free seed of the variety readily available? As Cornell’s potato breeder, I can provide some insight into the second and third criteria. Whether or not a customer wants to buy your potatoes is, of course, up to them. A good place to look at seed availability, from a national perspective, is a summary that the certification section of the Potato Association of America puts together each year. You can download a list of certified seed produced the prior year from https://www.potatoassociation.org/research-2/seed/. This document lists how much seed of each variety was produced in each state. If you want to find out who produced the seed in each state, you’ll need to go to each state’s seed potato certification website. E.g., https://www.maine.gov/dacf/php/seed_potato/index.shtml for Maine or email [email protected] to request a directory for New York. Seed of over 400 varieties was produced in the USA in 2019. The top 40 varieties represent 90% of seed acreage, so are relatively easy to source. It can nevertheless be a challenge to procure seed of minor varieties. Varieties to consider growing in NY, and why: Russets Most long russet potato varieties do not perform well in NY.
