These seed potatoes produce reliable yields of medium-to-large, oblong tubers with thin, netted skin that stores well after harvest. A versatile choice for the kitchen and garden alike.

This variety excels in roasting, mashing, baking, and frying thanks to its creamy texture and excellent flavor. Plants grow vigorously with a compact, upright habit suited to garden beds, raised beds, and containers.
