About Fingerling potato

Potatoes are the storage crop of this list: they are dug once and shipped out of storage all year, which is why the price moves in long steps rather than week to week. The New York list is really three lists at once — russet and chef potatoes for volume, specialty colors (purple, fingerling, marble, Korean purple sweet) for menu work, and the yams, which in American produce usage means sweet potatoes and not the true yam. Idaho cartons are quoted by count, and the count is the number of potatoes in the carton, so a higher count means smaller potatoes for the same carton.

Buying notes

Pick the count for the plate, because the count is a size decision before it is a price decision — a baking menu and a roasting menu do not want the same carton. Most lines also come in a smaller carton, and the specialty colors sit well above the volume varieties, so keep them for the dishes that actually show them.
