These are really cool, but pretty low yielding.

Adirondack Blue is somewhat less mealy and more flavorful than the All Blue and is a great general purpose potato. It matures earlier than All Blue. It is one of our favorite eating potatoes no matter how it is prepared. Do not let them grow too big--they will get huge. They are susceptible to hollow heart and when they get overly large, very pronounced eyebrows will detract from their appearance. Also, they do not like excessive bruising. Treat them like eggs, and they will respond accordingly.
