Red Thumb

red skin, pale red flesh The earliest potato in our trialing field, a rare trait among fingerlings. Slice one in half at farmers’ market to show customers the unique flesh: cream streaked with a light red pigment. Dig early for that classic petite fingerling, or wait for skins to set to secure some lunkers.

If you’re a backyard breeder or an aspiring one, you’ll love the potential offered by this beautifully flowering and seed-producing variety. Its earliness likely contributes to its ability to stand up to early blight. Moderate scab resistance. ②
