Irish Cobbler Potato

The Irish Cobbler potato is an early season white potato and a widely respected heirloom, first introduced in 1876. Nicknamed "Old Reliable", it is also known simply as the "cobbler". Its consistently delicious flavor, nutty aroma and performance have earned it that reliable moniker. Fans of Irish Cobbler say it makes one of the best mashed potatoes around, having a "deliciously mealy" texture, though its creamy, dry, white flesh boils and bakes exceptionally well. Subject to producing misshapen tubers under poor growing conditions, the ideal conditions will produce a round to oblong, medium-smooth, buff-skinned, medium-sized potato with lightly netted skin and yummy white flesh. This is a traditional favorite among home gardeners. Plant these so as to have early seed potatoes and for their large showy plants and white blossoms, transforming your early garden with a flare that most potatoes don't possess.
