We live in the Blue Mountains NSW and would like to plant an Idaho potato. Can any advise on where to buy plants and any growing tips?

I'm an American expat living on the Gold Coast. I too have tried to find a source for a good old Idaho potatoes in Australia...So far I haven't had any luck. Idaho's are fantastic potatoes...especially baked. They taste like a real potato!!! Their relatively thick skins make great 'potato skins'...a great snack or appetizer...also unavailable in Australia. I always head straight for the supermarket and stock up on Idaho's when I'm back in the real world!!! One misses out on a lot living here in Oz!!!
