Solanum tuberosum
Early season, bright red skin, white flesh.

A strikingly beautiful round all-purpose potato, very similar in all regards to the red-skinned standard Dark Red Norland, but more uniform in size and shape, with a deeper red color that stays vibrant in field heat and winter storage. Matures about a week later than Norland. Developed in a breeding collaboration between North Dakota and UMaine, and named for the great, now-retired, UMaine breeder Gregory Porter. Resistant to black spot, rhizoctonia and scab.
