Denali Potatoes are oblong, with tough, buff skin and white flesh.
These are floury potatoes with good flavour.
The plant gives high yields in a late harvest.
They were marketed as being good both for sale direct to consumers, and for processing into potato chips (aka crisps in the UK.)
They are no longer in commercial production. They are now mostly just grown by home gardeners.
