in addition to matt's wild, this year i am trialing several other late blight resistant lines. Tom Wagner's "skykomish" and "grungy in the sky" are skill producing after the wave of disease has killed most other varieties. they are tasty and good sizes for processing and multiple use. i understand that the LB res in skykomish is due to 2 purebred recessive genes and outcrossed varieties such as "grungy in the sky" (bred from skykomish and a yellow julienne slicer from val 'grungy' mcmurray) only have a 1/16 chance of purebred inheritance of the LB resistance in the F2 generation.
the smaller yellower one is Grungy in the sky, while the larger one is skykomish:
