I did, and I look forward to eating them (and growing them, if seed
potato stock becomes available for sale). They're an improved Russet
Burbank, which was an improvement over existing potato varieties.

People who reflexively scream about GMO varieties sound as ridiculous
as the people who rail against in vitro fertilization on the grounds
that it's unnatural. Both are techniques that can be misused, in which
case they are worthy of criticism. But most of the time it's just
progress as usual.
