Potatoes 'Kennebec'

Seed Potatoes

Solanum tuberosum 'Kennebec'

'Kennebec' potatoes are medium to large, oval-shaped tubers with white flesh and tan skin. Known for muse in French Fries, Kennebec potatoes hold their shape well and can be tossed into soups, curries, and stews, boiled and served in salads, or shredded into latkes. 

Potatoes must have well-drained, moisture retentive, fertile soil that is high in organic matter and a pH between 5.0 and 6.0. Do not use a lime soil, the soil should be slightly acid. To prevent disease problems, do not plant potatoes in the same bed as tomatoes. Potatoes should be rotated on a 3 year program. This means, you need 3 suitable sites if you want to grow potatoes every year.
