The potatoes that have purple in them:  Caribe, Peruvian Purple, other purple varieties, don't have as many potato beetles - they don't like th purple varieties as much.
 
But for those varieties that do have them,  i pick them off by hand 2 or three times, and then they disappear.  I don't have too many problems with them.
