Reba was recently evaluated for its culinary characteristics by the culinary section of our local community college. Their evaluation places it in the middle as a baking potato: not as dry as Russet Burbank, nor as moist as Superior, Chieftain, Katahdin or Dark Red Norland. They found it quite good for potato salads, mashing and boiling. We have found it easy to grow, that it has good yields, good domancy and a large percentage of marketable tubers. Reba is a good potato to grow.
