When the growing potatoes start to flower, growers practice what is called “hilling” to block the sun from getting to them.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Potatoes can be grown in the Alaskan Interior, and are available to buy all around the Fairbanks community, including at Risse Greenhouse .
When growable potatoes with sprouts have been secured, these can be planted whole or in pieces, as long as each piece has sprouts in it. “You want to cut them, and then let them dry for about a day before you plant them,” said Risse. Risse explained, “You pull soil in around the base of the plant, and the reason you do that is if the potatoes are close to the surface and sunlight gets to them, they’ll turn green. They’ll start to actually grow, and that green growth on that potato will give you a stomachache. It creates acids which are not easily digested.”
