Chieftain Potato

The Chieftain potato is a mid-season potato maturing with beautiful, smooth, coppery red skin and creamy white flesh. With medium specific gravity, shallow eyes and few of them, Chieftain does not darken after peeling, boils well, has a fairly thin skin and stores very well. They are quite attractive on the table! If you want to use them as new potatoes, harvesting can begin 8 weeks after planting. Picture these coppery red skins in fresh potato salad! Mmmmm!
