It’s a hefty price tag indeed, but the genuine connoisseurs are quite prepared to cough up the dough.
"It's worth it. They are only available once a year," says buyer Bjarne Thygesen, who shamelessly puts the requested amount on the table.
The potatoes from Reddal are widely known and have frequently been on the menus of the rich and famous, including the Norwegian king. The grower behind the first potatoes – as always – is Knut Salve Lunden. "It's nice to be first," says Lunden. "Most people do not want to spend that kind of money on potatoes, but it's mostly a gimmick. Everyone wants to be the first."
The 14 potato growers in Reddal have about a thousand hectares of potatoes and produce more than two thousand tons during two months. Now that the first batch is sold in Grimstad, market volume will increase and the prices will drop swiftly. After Pentecost, there will be more potatoes on the market, fortunately at a much lower price.
