5 Pounds Seed Kennebec Potato Solanum tuberosum Heirloom
Kennebec Potato is a classic heirloom variety prized by home gardeners for its dependable yields of smooth, oval tubers with light tan skin and white flesh. These seed potatoes are a reliable choice for spring planting and perform well in a range of garden settings, from raised beds to open ground.
This versatile potato is excellent for boiling, baking, mashing, and frying, and it stores well when cured properly after harvest.
