They are so superior to store bought even after they have been in the root cellar for a few weeks.

 

So true!

When I was growing potatoes—Chieftain was our work-horse potato and the cultivar we grew most.

Perfect for our terroir.

One droughty year when I had to regularly carry water, by hand, to the plants—a LOT of water over nearly the entire summer—we harvested many tubers that were well over 6 inches long (with excellent flavor.)

Chieftains aren't usually that HUGE!

Some folks say that Chieftains aren't suitable for fries—but it's all in the technique.

They can produce excellent fries via the double-fry method.
