Yukon Gold seem to be more demanding in soil fertilizer and in some situations it develops a hollow centre jagged in appearance and looking kind of rotty... yes. There are seed potatoe catalogues where you can order different types of yellow flesh potatoes that may do better in your soil.... We have a good kind this year, but I have lend out my catalogue to someone at the moment and cannot tell you the name... But yes, Yukon Gold potatoes are somewhat difficult. I believe they grow better in heavier soils... we have sandy soil...

Anyone have trouble with these potatoes having spots inside, not visible from outside: spots that appear hollow and kind of rotty looking?
