We planted four potato varieties in our garden this year; Russet, Red, White, and Fingerlings. All four varieties did very good, but some of the Russets had strange shapes. This condition is caused by heat and watering stress. We had long stretches of temperatures over 90 degrees Fahrenheit along with extended dry spells which causes the tubers to stop growing. We then had multiple days of soaking rain that started the tubers growing new potatoes from the main tuber to give them a snowman shape.
