Edibles: Tuber

Solid tubers with thin red skins, shallow eyes and a crisp white flesh. They're also very attractive and flavorful at the new potato stage, so you may want to harvest a few then. Red Pontiac is one of the better performing potato varieties in heavy soils. It's no wonder this potato is a favorite among home gardeners year after year. This main season variety also stores well, so you can enjoy spuds into the cool months of fall and winter.
