Maris Bard Potatoes

Maris Bard are oval, oblong potatoes with smooth, light-buff skin and white flesh.

These are waxy potatoes with good flavour.

They are good for French Fries when harvested early.

When harvested very late in the season, they become more floury, and hold their shape less well when boiled, and the taste is diminished.

History Notes

Maris Bard Potatoes were developed in Cambridge, England at Plant Breeding International Cambridge Plc in Cambridge, England from a cross between Ulster Prince potatoes, and a potato referred to as “Y15/139.”

Released 1972.
