Potatoes 'Yukon Gold'

Seed Potatoes

Solanum tuberosum 'Yukon Gold'

'Yukon Gold' is a large cultivar of potato most distinctly characterized by its thin, smooth, eye-free skin and yellow-tinged flesh. Yukon Gold retains the yellow flesh color when baked, boiled or french-fried. 

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.
