About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

One of the oldest German early potatoes still in cultivation and a household name in the kitchen over generations. The oblong-oval tubers with yellow, firm flesh ripen early and are popular as the first salad potato of the year. Their mild, savoury flavour suits potatoes boiled in their skins and salads. In damp weather it is prone to late blight, so an early harvest protects your tubers.

Mildly savoury and fine, with a thin skin that slips off easily after cooking.
