Hi all,

I have grown red and white potatoes this year, cannot remember what
variety, but on the red ones, though they reached a good size
all the large ones, had something? eaten into them leaving deep holes,
however the whites were untouched, nice sized and very clean.
Could anyone advise on what had attacked the red potatoes but not the
white ones

Thanks for all the advice, but the holes are only small diameter, but they
seem to go along way in and ruin most of the potatoe
