Desiree Potatoes are a maincrop potato variety, with high and early yields. It has a high resistance to drought and good resistance to potato virus.
Potato Desiree
The Desiree potato plant is of a medium height and spread, with a number of pigmented stems.
The leaf is blue/green open and pigmented.
A good table variety!
Remains a firm favourite of many for its rosy skin and very finely flavoured pale yellow flesh. Tubers can become very large and slightly mis-shapen but that does not detract from this very versatile variety whether baked roasted or boiled.
Skin Colour – Red.
Flesh Colour – Light yellow.
Uses – boil, mash, chips and saute. Desiree has a firm cooked texture.
