- (continued from previous page)When the potatoes are planted, they are earthed and re-earthed. Then they are sprayed. They are then left growing until October. Then they are dug. Some people dig with a spade, and others with a potato digger. All the family helps to pick them.Golden Wonders are the best eating potatoes. There are others also, namely, "Aran banners", "Champions", "Kerpinks", "Great Scots" and "Aran Chiefs".There is a way for making starch from potatoes, the raw potatoes are grated into a pan of water. Then the mixture was strained, and the remaining substance was used for starch.
