Eastern potatoes, also known as Eastern European potatoes, are a culinary delight that originated in the eastern regions of Europe. These potatoes are known for their unique texture, flavor, and versatility in various traditional dishes.

Eastern potatoes are typically medium-sized or small, with a smooth and thin skin that can range in color from creamy white to light brown. Their flesh is creamy, slightly waxy, and holds its shape well during cooking. This characteristic makes them perfect for recipes that call for boiled, steamed, roasted, or fried potatoes.

With a soft buttery taste, the German Butterball brings delight to any plate. Many people find it hard to go back to other varieties after they've tasted the German Butterball. Great for roasting, pan cooking, or mashed potatoes.

Dagele Brothers Produce

Florida, NY

Dagele Bros. Produce, operated by Frank, Robert and Randal Dagele was started in 1919, when the brothers' grandparent's, John and Josephine, emigrated from Poland and settled in the 22 square miles of Orange County known as the "Black Dirt" region. A bit of geological happenstance has made the area home to some of this country's most fertile soil due to having been formerly the bottom of a nutrient rich lake. The sulfur rich soil makes for particularly spicy alliums so the Dagele Bros. devote about 180 acres of their 400 acre farm to growing cooking onions. "We sell our onions with the tops still on them, they're extremely fresh and have a better taste," Doreen, the Dagele sister, says. The other crops grown on the Dagele brothers' farm are 125 acres of salad greens, 40 acres of pumpkins and winter squash, and 20 acres of different vegetables that range from artichokes to zucchini.

Store in a cool, dry place away from onions for up to a month.
