If you mean the 'all blue' I tried them once and they were a disappointment.

I don't know what I was expecting, but the website below describes it best

"The flavor is remarkably normal for such a distinctively visual variety."

I'm don't think they can ship to the US but this is the best site I've found
up here for variety with a description and some decent pictures of what
potatoes are out there. I think the "sold out" is just there way of turning
off orders.

I ordered a few varieties from them this year along with planting some
smaller potatoes I had left over from last year.

The only problem I've run into this year is I can't find my hoe - and a
shovel doesn't work as well for hilling up the potatoes as they're growing.

I think it would be fun to try growing a lot of different varieties, like
those blue ones !  LOL.
