All Red Potatoes

In addition to the All Blue potatoes, I also ordered the All Red seed potatoes from High Mowing Seeds.  I got a nice harvest of near perfect looking potatoes.

According to High Mowing, here is a little information on this specialty potato: It is a high yielder, drought-tolerant, scab resistant and an early season variety. Also it is a good variety for container growing. This potato is good boiled, sautéed or steamed.   Also, the All Red potatoes are not known as a variety that is good for storing.

The one negative with the All Red and the All Blue seed potatoes is that they did not grow upward very much. I kept hilling the soil and most of the potatoes were down near the bottom of the grow bag.

I previously grew another reddish pink potato called Mountain Rose.  With my experience, the All Reds were higher yielders than the Mountain Rose and the All Blue potatoes.
