Saxon Potatoes

Saxon Potatoes are oval, with light-buff skin and pale yellow flesh.

These are waxy potatoes. Though they are marketed as all-purpose for direct to consumer sales, their flesh stays very firm after cooking.

The plant delivers heavy yields.

Some feel that the potato’s taste and texture are mediocre.

History Notes

Saxon Potatoes were developed by the Plant Breeding International Cambridge Plc in Cambridge, England in 1981 from a cross between Kingston and Desiree potatoes.

Released 1990.
