Default Chosing potatoes to plant

I reckon Kipflers are a waste of space - you get about half a kilo from
each plant if you are lucky, but any tiny little one left will sprout
again, right in the middle of the next crop you grow on that spot.

My Kiplflers gave a decent crop when I last grew them and any spuds left in
will do exactly the same sprouting thing so that isn't a big reason not to
grow them. Have you tried growing them more than once? I find that
sometimes some things won't do well in one year but better in another.

Kipflers are superb salad spuds IIRC, but they are simply foul baked.
