Shepody Potatoes have thin, smooth, white skin with some netting, and white flesh with high starch.
The plant delivers high yields in an early harvest.
They are marketed as all-purpose for direct to consumer sales, though they are seldom sold on this way, and for processing into long French Fries (aka chips in the UK.)
