About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
You will find ‚Bintje’ among the most well-known potatoes in Europe and the classic French fry variety in Belgium and the Netherlands. The oval, yellow-fleshed tubers are predominantly waxy with a slightly starchy character and become wonderfully crisp when fried. They are also suitable for mash and pan-fried potatoes. They are sensitive to clubroot; an airy location and preventive care keep them healthy.
You will taste a mild, slightly starchy flavor; when fried it turns crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
