How did the two compare as far as taste? I grew some Kennebec last
year...they are recommended cultivar for Atlanta area. The flavor and
texture were very good when harvested as just-a-little-beyond the
traditional new potato size. Since it's a late-maturing variety, we have
to dig them too soon for them to develop into big lunkers/baking size.
