German Butterball Seed Potato – Organic

Description

Organic German Butterball Seed Potato

German Butterball Potato – Certified Organic, an all-purpose potato with gourmet flavor!

Organic German Butterball Seed Potatoes have become widely grown in home gardens and by market farmers after a garlic growing friend of ours, David Ronniger of Idaho, bred the potato in 1988 from parent varieties that dated back to pre-19th century Europe.  He developed a popular variety of potato due to its creamy flesh with nice buttery flavor that holds together well when cooked until tender. Known as a gourmet potato with its heirloom distinction and top notch flavor. All we can say is…yum! Makes a most perfect roasted potato that is versatile enough to fry or boil. These impressive, vine like plants produce medium to high yields. Can be harvested small-medium size, are especially lovely, with excellent storage abilities. A must have for any potato lover!
