Whataroa Potatoes

Whataroa Potatoes are irregularly, oblong shaped, wider at one end, with most eyes at other end.

There are purple patches on the light-brown skin. Inside, the potato has off-white flesh with purple flushes in it.

These are waxy potatoes.

They are good for oven-baked potato wedges or chips (aka French Fries in North America.)

History Notes

Whataroa Potatoes were developed in New Zealand.

Language Notes

Named after Whatarora, New Zealand.
