Potato Clancy F1

2019 AAS Edible – Vegetable Winner

The first potato from seed that’s an AAS Winner! The benefits of growing this tasty edible from seed are many. For home gardeners and market growers, sterile seed eliminates the potential for introducing disease to the garden. Seeds are also easier to store and can be stored longer than potato tubers. Potato Clancy produces compact and healthy dark green plants with blue flowers. Resulting spuds are a beautiful ornamental mix ranging from red to rose blush skin tones with interiors of creamy white and yellow. In terms of eating qualities, Clancy has great texture and flavor (a happy medium between that of a yellow-skinned potato and a russet), making it especially good for mashing or boiling due to its lighter texture.

JUDGE'S OBSERVATIONS

  • “This red potato was fun to grow from seed, good flavor.”
  • “Easily sprouted and transplanted into the garden”
  • “Great texture and flavor, making it especially good for mashing or boiling due to its lighter texture.”
  • “Flesh color is whiter, and texture and flavor inside seem like a cross between a yellow-fleshed potato and a russet.”
  • “I like this one. It is unique and something fun for gardeners’ young and old alike. The almost mythical seed potato has finally been discovered. Each plant I harvested had 3-4 decent sized tubers and half a dozen more large grape sized tubers. This is one I would grow for fun at home with the kids and for food purposes as well. It takes nothing to grow these and they last a long time in the ground. ”
  • “Compact healthy dark green plants with bright darker blue flowers with yellow in the center of each flower.”
