1. My Dad grew them for several years here in Georgia. Some

years they did great, other times they were a waste of time. I think the soil in GA has too much clay. If you have sandy, well-drained soil, you will have nice, fat. well-formed potatoes. Too much moisture and rock hard clay will make skinny, mealy potatoes. The best ones I've ever eaten were Cuban red (I think that's the name) sweet potatoes from Sand Mountain, Alabama.
