Potato 'Russet Nugget'

4-5" long x 3" diameter potatoes are excellent for french fries and baking.

Russet Nugget was selected in Colorado from a Texas cross of Krantz x AND71609-1. It was tested as TC582-1 and was released by the Colora...Read Moredo and Texas Experiment Stations in 1989. It is late maturing and produces a medium to high yield of high quality, russeted tubers. It is well suited for both the frozen processing and fresh markets. Tubers have a heavily, and uniformly, russeted skin and white flesh. They have an oblong, slightly flattened shape. Eyes are shallow, moderate in number and well-distributed. Dormancy is medium.
