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 resistance. Susceptible to rhizoctonia. Scab resistant.

Large prostrate vines with few white flowers.
