Bintje Potatoes are oval, with smooth, pale yellow skin and pale yellow flesh.
They are a floury potato and okay for mashing, but the potato doesn’t really have much flavour as a mashed potato.
They are better for French Fries (aka chips in the UK.)
Popular in Tasmania and California.
Storage Hints
Bintje Potatoes store well.
