Ping Pong ball sized is the biggest "regular" sized new potato I see.
You mean they get bigger???? Well, a little bit bigger than ping pong
ball size wouldn't faze me, but... Holy Cow! How big can they get?
I'm not happy with a ping pong ball size. They should be bigger than
a marble and definitely smaller than a ping ball. Well, I'd be happy
if they were the size of that "big" marble, whatever it's called... a
shooter? You know - the one you shoot at the other marbles.
