Description
Yukon Gold Seed Potatoes are our best-selling variety, known for their creamy yellow flesh, smooth thin skin, and outstanding flavor. First introduced in Canada in 1981, they quickly became a favorite among gardeners and chefs alike. This early-season variety delivers reliable yields and excellent storage, making it a staple in home gardens.
Their natural golden color gives them a buttery appearance, and the pink eyes at harvest are a distinctive hallmark of this classic potato. Yukon Gold nearly browns itself in the frying pan, and its rich flavor makes it ideal for roasting, mashing, or frying.
Note: These potatoes tend to be large. If you order 1 lb, you may receive a single potato.
