Anyone ever see any of these from suppliers in the U.S.?

This is a tough question to answer. Many varieties are grown in the United States but many are not readily available to backyard gardeners. Either the growers are tied up with licensing restrictions or Material Transfer Agreements, etc. It takes a few years for quarantine to allow some varieties to be imported. The only one in the Scottish list commonly available here is the Pink Fir Apple or Rose Finn Apple as we call this clone here.
In order to educate folks on waxy potatoes and maybe drum up some demand for them, I have modified the link to the site mentioned in the first post. Simply click on the More Info link to learn more about this wonderful class of potato texture. (Edit Note:The blue hyperlink did not transfer, sorry!)
I have personally tried 12 of the varieties listed below with a asterisk.

The most concise way of finding out if there is, or could be, a supplier in the United States is to look at a fairly complete list of varieties being certified within the 14 states with potato programs. Here again I will add an asterisk (*) to those I have either grown or have used in breeding.

I have grown and tasted many varieties of potatoes, probably as many as just about anyone else, however it would take me a month of Sundays to report here on all the flavors and textures therein.
I took a bit of time to show some detail on what I grow because as a potato breeder, I like to think that my crosses of many of the above list will be important in the future. My objective is to have TPS to get even more diversity among the many potato clones.
