OT Proprietary potatoes

How big are these new taters? Can you make a seven course meal out of one
or does it have to be a eight or nine course meal?

I'm not sure what to think about "propietary potatoes" other than
I should try to grow some in my garden, that'd show the *******s ;-),
but I bought a bag of red skin, golden flesh "proprietary potatoes"
called Klondike Rose and they are fantastic.

Ohhhhhhhhhh the gnocchi, I sweartagawd, light, fluffy, melt in your
mouth with a buttery, velvet smoothness. Best gnocchi potatoes I've
ever worked with and they make damn good mashed taters too.

Just a culinary heads up, they're supposedly of German origin, grown
in Washington State and marketed by Green Giant.

The ones I bought at the grocery here were U.S. #1, which this
year means, among other things, they were at least 4 oz. apiece.
Most of them are right at that size.

I figure 8 oz. of "in the bag" taters per serving for my gnocchi.

(But then I'm pushin' 2?? lbs., so I should probably figure less ;-).
