The white potato

A delicious classic in every bite

As an early potato, the white potato is generally available from July to mid‑March—just in time for summer! The early variety is undoubtedly one of the most popular, and it is appreciated for its firm texture, charming roundness, and thin skin. Its flawless (almost perfect!) creamy‑white appearance is mouth‑watering!
