Hi Devon and welcome, I've moved this to the grow your own board, but perhaps you'd like to tell us more about yourself in the welcome board and give us a rough idea of your location in your profile - its helps people give accurate answers to growing questions.  :)

We grow them every year and a very tasty, all around potato. The flesh is a gold colour, hence the name.

Only problem with them is that the yield is not high. Each plant produces only about 10 tubers, never more, so you'd need to plant a lot if this is your main crop.  Because of the lower yield, they always cost more in the shops and markets.
