Allegany are round potatoes with buff, smooth skin with occasional netting on them.
The plant blooms above ground with pale lavendar flowers mottled with mauve, and delivers high yields in a late harvest.
The potato is promoted as all-purpose for direct to consumer sales and for processing into potato chips (aka crisps in the UK.)
History Notes
