Karupa-Rera Potatoes

Both of this potato’s names mean “duck eye.”

This refers to the eyes of the potatoes being surrounded by yellow.

The skin is purple. Inside, the flesh is off-white.

The potatoes are only somewhat floury, so they can be boiled, but carefully.

History Notes

Karupa-Rera Potatoes were developed in New Zealand.
