The only ones that I can think of that (sort of) fit that
description because the physical description is right but the
colour is not right (but may be if you are trying to distinguish
them from say a red skinned spud) are Kipflers (I wouldn't call
them white skinned -more a dun colour). Kipfler is a salad
potato
and is disgusting roasted

Ditto, We obtained our seed stock years ago from diggers club in
Melbourne. They are the only one of five varieties that have kept
on
growing year after year. Warning, sieve soil with fine mesh after
digging because even little 5mm spuds will resprout.

Are they those dark purple ones? I got some of those from the
organic/gourmet spud guy (Josephs) at Fyshwick Markets years ago,
didn't eat
them all in time and put the sprouting ones in the ground. decades
later
they are flourishing, producing good crops every year. and yes, they
are
awful baked, they go sort of weird and sugary.

I think you might be talking about "purple congos". Dark purple flesh
and a lovely flowery spud. Kipfler is quite different in appaearance
(as it's a light fawn colour) from the purple congos although I do
think there is a purple one that is longer than the congos. Can't
remember it's name though..
