Lenape Potatoes

Lenape Potatoes are round, slightly-flattened potatoes with light-buff skin.

They were meant for processing into potato chips (aka crisps in the UK.)

History Notes

Lenape Potatoes were developed jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Pennsylvania State University from a cross between Delta Gold potatoes and a potato referred to as “B3672-3.”

During development, the potato was referred to as “B5141-6.”

Released 1967.

After release, it was withdrawn again owing to its high glycoalkaloid levels, which can be toxic, but it has been used as breeding stock a good deal since then.
