VEGETABLES / POTATO
Organic Listing
Light colored fingerling. Produces a large number of micro-to medium tubers, the larger ones generally elongated and finger-shaped, a few with "toes." This variety seems determined to set tubers at the surface of the soil, moreso than other varieties, so be sure to add mulch regularly especially after the onset of flowering to reduce the chance of harvesting green potatoes. The surface setting does make them easy to harvest. Best use in the kitchen: Great for both soups, as cut pieces hold well the shape after boiling, and potato salads.
