Wauseon Potatoes

Wauseon are round to oval, slightly flattened potatoes with light-buff skin.

They were marketed as all-purpose for direct to consumer sales and for processing into potato chips (aka crisps in the UK.)

No longer in commercial production (as of 2006.)

History Notes

Wauseon Potatoes were developed jointly by the Campbell Institute for Research and Technology (Camden, New Jersey), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York from a cross between Katahdin potatoes and a potato referred to as “B5149-8.”

During development, the potato was referred to as “B5036-40.”

Released 1967.
