Red Norland is an early-season heirloom potato that produces high yields of medium to large tubers with smooth, thin red skin, shallow eyes, and bright white flesh. The texture is firm with excellent flavor, making it well suited for boiling, roasting, and potato salads. It maintains good eating quality and is one of the most widely grown red potatoes for home gardens.
This dependable variety stores moderately well for an early potato and offers moderate resistance to common scab. Originally developed at North Dakota State University for northern climates, it is valued for its reliable performance and consistent yields in cooler growing regions.
