Potato Yukon


Red Gold is a medium sized potato with light red skin and a delicate yellow flesh and great texture. Perfect steamed, boiled, baked, fried, mashed, roasted or any way you cook it. Plant potatoes in well-drained, deep, loose fertile soil and water them regularly. With every three inches the plant grows, mound more soil around the sides of the plant, this protects tubers from sunlight which can cause tubers to turn green and become toxic. Stop adding soil when flowers appear. Potatoes are ready to harvest when top of the plants have died off. Harvest carefully by hand, brush off soil, but do not wash until ready to use, it shortens their storage life. Store in a cool dry place.
