Potatoes are grown all over Norway, including in the most northern county Finnmark, despite its latitude of 70 N.
Common varieties grown in Norway are Saturna, Asterix, Mandel, Folva, and Beate.
Like in most countries, the size of the farms has increased significantly, although they are still relatively small for European standards.
