German Butterball - Organic

seed potatoes
Solanum tuberosum
Late season, lightly russeted yellow skin, yellow flesh. These plants produce delectable buttery balls that are hands-down the best-tasting roasting potato in the winter.

With flesh just dry enough for a fry or a hash, the Butterball has high yields, good storage qualities and shows some virus and scab resistance. Susceptible to rhizoctonia.

Large prostrate vines with few white flowers.
