Hi,

The U recommends these potato varieties for northern MN:

Gold Rush, Kennebec, Norland Red, Superior, and Yukon Gold.

Here is a link to Extensions recommendations for other vegetables in MN. The ones with astericks are best for northern MN: http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/vegetables/suggested-vegetables-for-minnesota-home-g...
