Default Potato experiment.
In article , says...

Is there any
reason to buy "seed potatoes"? I would have had a decent crop fot what I
had planted, had I not listened to a friend and dug them before the tops
dried off.....Sharon in SW Ontario Canada

London ON here.

Well....

Table potatoes may be chemically treated or irradiated to inhibit
sprouting.

I'd suggest googling the subject.

If you're in London ON, seed potatoes are available right now from the
TSC stores.

-- I bought ours yesterday even before they put them out on the floor.

--I'm told they sell out very fast so move quickly.
