This is an OK potato, taste is good but not great, very poor keeper, yeild is fair. Nice looking potato inside and out and easy to grow though Good masher, roaster or boiler, not that great for potato salad, fries etc

Red skin, yellow flesh. Great for mash potato. This year we had a lot less rain and really hot weather, so potatoes went crazy. I sowed 5pd and got 47pd! It has much better taste than supermarket superior potato, but not unforgetable like russet norkotah.

I grew 7 kinds of potatoes, and this was the heaviest producer. And they were gorgeous. The taste was good (not great) for homegrown.
