‘Yukon Gold’ Potato – 2 Pound Bag

Days to Maturity: 70 to 90 from direct sow

‘Yukon Gold’ Potato is so richly flavored that your guests will ask if you already added the butter. This superb baking variety sets an early harvest of large, scrumptious spuds you will find irresistible in soups and side dishes as well as straight from the oven.

‘Yukon Gold’ Potato is the most popular yellow-skinned variety for baking, and it’s easy to see why. It harvests earlycloser to 70 days than 90, and far ahead of the 100 to 110 typical of midseason types. The tubers are rounded, blocky, and packed with succulent flesh, with thin skins just perfect for eating. (That’s where all the vitamins are hiding, too.) Although it’s classified as a “dry” type best suited for baking, I find it superb boiled or fried too. The spuds range from 4 to 10 ounces, so I save the big mongo ones for baked potatoes, and turn the others into soups, stews, and veggie medleys.
