Fingerling Mix

Name: Seed Potato 'Fingerlings'
Brand: Tristar Plants
Price: 4.99 USD
Availability: InStock

This Mix is made up of three Potatoes.

Russian Banana- Probably the best known of the fingerlings. Tan skin with dark yellow flesh. Matures earlier than most fingerlings with respectable yields of 2”-3” tubers at 75 days. Steamed and tossed with butter and parsley, these make a tasty late-summer dish. Resistant to scab, but susceptible to rhizoctonia and late blight. Early maturity.

French Fingerlings- A popular gourmet variety which produces large, fingerling tubers with smooth, dark rose-red skin and waxy, yellow flesh lightly splashed with pink. Rather dry and flourlike, this outstanding potato variety offers an exceptional quality and delicious nutty flavor all its own. Excellent multi-purpose potato. Mid to late-season maturity.

Amarosa- his red-skin, red-flesh variety offers excellent culinary attributes. Tubers are high in anti-oxidants and are delicious roasted or fried. They retain their deep red color when fried. Tubers are smaller than TerraRossa but are prolific.

What Are Seed Potatoes?

Seed potatoes are tubers that sprout to grow new plants, not actual seeds.

Flavor

Rich, buttery flavor with a creamy texture; excellent for mashing, baking, frying, and even roasting.

Hardiness Zone

Suitable for USDA zones 3-9; grows well in diverse climates and tolerates cooler temperatures effectively.

When to Harvest

Typically matures in 90-110 days; provides a steady harvest and can be replanted for additional yields if conditions allow.

Shipping Guarantee

Ships via UPS with a guaranteed 2-day delivery from the shipping date.

Cut and Cure

For large seed potatoes, cut into pieces with one eye each. Let pieces dry for 1-2 days to prevent rot.

Weight to Potato Count

A 1 lb bag typically includes 6-8 seed potatoes, enough to start a small potato bed.

Average Yield

Each plant can produce around 8-12 mature potatoes under optimal growing conditions, offering a plentiful and consistent harvest for home gardeners.
