About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

This Franconian rarity, ‚Bamberger Hörnchen’, has elongated, often curved tubers that give it its name. The firm, yellow flesh stays pleasantly bite firm when cooked and does not fall apart, ideal for potato salad and fried potatoes. It is an old, seed‑stable landrace with a strong, nutty own flavour. It is little resistant to foliage and tuber rot; an airy site and early harvest help you bring in healthy tubers.

Fine nutty and spicy, with a firm bite that keeps its shape in salad.
