The Kenosha Potato Collection Catalog
Dear Friends:

This page is linked to the Kenosha Potato Project

click here to review

This page is updated with the help of many gardeners who are growing these potatoes in SE Wisconsin.

Potato varieties are organized by the known name (some varieties are grown with several names).

We are interested in receiving feedback to complete our records. Many crop catalogs are developed by University Extension Offices for the commercial farming community. This catalog focuses on rare varieties grown in home gardens. We are particularly interested to keep records of recipies - best use for each variety. As these recipies are made available to us, they will be linked to each variety that can be used.

Pictures: often pictures were taken before the tubers were planted - not the best condition! We are planning to replace all pictures with tubers at harvest time (best condition) following these standards:

Gardeners' Network Feedback: Local gardeners who are participating in this project need to keep records and give us feedback for - the main varietiey features are listed on the Project Page - TYPE - SHAPE - EARLYNESS.

  • Keep a record of planting date - count 50 to 75 days
  • Flag Early Varieties and "steal" a few tubers
  • Take pictures following the standards listed above
  • Determine best Kitchen Use based on Shape and Type
  • Ensure that the variety you are responsible for (find your code on this page) is correctly listed on the Project Page

Any reader, local or non-local, may provide additional text for this page, if you have additional comments relative to any variety you are growing. Please help us complete this catalog. Send us an email with your comments and advise for interesting varieties, both US Heritage and Old World Specialty.

Description to be revied: You will find my observations on how any varieties performs in my kitchen ... and I'm glad to add your observations.

Plus I'm planning to add links to recipes ... please send recipes and link suggestions.

Achirana_2008 Achirana, aka Achirana INTA

Medium size round tubers with yellow skin and white flesh. South American origin (Peru, Argentina). Found web posting mentioning Bt (Bacillus Thurengensis) to control the potato tuber moth (PTM, Phthorimaea operculella) by INTA, the Argentian Dept of Agriculture - which reports from 2004 World Potato Congress claiming that China grows about 1.25 million acres of Achirana (or 10% of the estimated total production of 70 million metric tonnes).

Bake_King_2008 Bake King

Medium, flat, oblong white tubers. R. Plaisted and Peterson released the Bake-King variety, a cross of Merrimack and Green Mountain, released in NY 1967. This variety is the parent of the variety Shepody. Develops larger tubers quite early - I "stole" a 3" x 3" sized tuber in mid July.

Blue_Sweden vs. Russian_Blue 2008
Blue_Shetland_2008 Blue Shetland

Jim tells me: I got the Blue Shetland seed from Bonsall because of the unusual color of this seed - blue skin and creamy yellow flesh with a blue "ring" in the flesh. If I do a good job of growing them and have a favorable year the seed or tubers get a little bigger than the largest tubers I send to you, but they never get very big. The largest are under 3 inches in diameter. I wonder if the small size is a characteristic of this variety or if my seed has a virus that is resulting in stunted growth.

The vines are also very short, not more than 18 inches tall. Mid-season maturity, originally from Scotland.

Eyes are moderately deep with apical eyes indented most. Eyes are moderate in number and concentrated on the apical end. Dormancy is medium.

Cow_Horn_2008 Cow Horn - aka La Crotte d'Ours

Late-season. Fingerling tubers with pointed tips, dark-purple skin and dry, mealy, white flesh. Good storage. Excellent resistant to common scab and late blight. Cowhorn is also known under the synonyms Purple Cowhorn and Seneca Cowhorn. Though listed as a fingerling in most databases, its name comes from its general appearance. Specific gravity is 1.069. Maturity is mid-to-late and it is low yielding. It is a heritage variety with uncertain origins. It has been grown in New York state since before 1853.

There is some speculation that it might have been developed in Vermont. There is further speculation that it might be identical to La Crotte d'Ours (Bear Poop), a Canadian heritage variety, thought to have roots to Scotland. Reported to have high levels of Glycoalkaloids (TGA).

I've listed the variety in my early category because in my garden the vines were completely dry by early August ... making it an early harvest variety.

Local grower: CA C

Description to be reviewed:

Despite the mealy flesh described above, I found the texture firm as in any waxy variety and cooked a few tubers in a dish I prepared with Austrian Crescent tubers. Left both tubers unpealed. The Cowhorn keeps a light purple skin color - it was fun to compare the flavors of the yellow-fleshed Austrian Crescent to the white-fleshed Cowhorn.

GREAT GARDEN POTATO! I particularly like the crop of this cultivar - most tubers are in the 2" across size, few grow to 3" - out of my standard 3 ft. row I harvested half a 5 gallon pail of tubers. The tuber in the picture was harvested the first week of July but the vines were done in October, when I found lots of small tubers and very few larger than 2". The perfect small potato.

German_Butterball_2008 German Butterball

First place winner in Rodale's Organic Gardening "Taste Off." A good choice for roasting, frying and mashed potatoes. Russeted skin and buttery yellow (medium-dry) flesh. One of our favorite all-purpose potato. Most tubers are medium - small and the skin is very thin - I use them often to cook in soups, just diced with the skin.

Excellent for long-term storage, if left in the ground until the vines turn brown, but I find nice size tubers to "steal" in July.

Grown in my biodynamic garden since 2004 - noticed that over the years the tubers have grown in size (2008 found one tuber 5" x 2.5") - perhaps the plants are telling me that they really love my soil. One vine grew true seed pods 2008.

Waxy potato - try to cube for vegetable soups. I found one tuber (see section of the picture) which was over 8" long and about 3" wide. Waxy potatoes can be cooked for a longer period and keep the shape ... don't fall apart.

And usually waxy potatoes are smaller in size. Potato salad may also be a good use.
Inca Treasure

Perhaps the most expensive potato in the world - I paid $25 for 5 tuberlets. Unique skin color, yellow flesh and exceptional flavor, says Anpetu who sent me the seed. For this price I hope to be able to confirm!

This cultivar is very late, and yet, in November I found many under-developped tubers. The tuber growth is very shallow, just around the vine crown. The yield is very small - next year I want to test shallow planting and heavier mulching, in addition to earlier planting date to extend the season.

I added a picture of the stolons - as I was surprised by the strength and the small tuberlets so late in the fall.

Most tubers are round and smaller than 1" across. I cooked the one tuber I've sacrified to check for flesh color and hope to have more to cook next year.

I eat most of my potato crop in my morning breakfast soups. Boiled in vegetable broth for about 20 minutes with the skin, the Inca Treasure tuber turned very soft, almost creamy.

La Ratte

Small-medium, fingerling type tubers, originated in France 1872. The name translates to "the mouse", which in German translates to "Ratte". The latter originates from Austria - I'm planning to grow them both next year and compare for difference in the two strains.
