Abnaki Potatoes are rounded, but a bit flatter at the end where the stem was.
The skin is buff coloured, with some occasional netting; inside the flesh is white.
Above ground, the plant has medium-sized medium-green leaves, close together, and produces many white flowers.
The plant delivers high yields.
Abnaki are mostly grown in northeastern United States and eastern Canada.
Cooking Tips
