Can I Purchase No.2 Potatoes In Cartons?

Can I get No. 2 potatoes in boxes or cartons for my fresh cut fries?

I have already stopped using the burlap bags as I found that if I didn’t get the burlap off the potatoes completely sometimes the fries looked like they might have a human hair when the burlap piece turned black from the fryer.
