Russet Norkotah
The Russet Norkotah variety was released in 1987 by North Dakota State University. This variety now ranks second in popularity for fresh-market use. Attractive type (refers to consistent oval shape); a high percentage of No. 1 potatoes is common with this early-maturing variety. Available August through June.
Excellent conformation; attractive medium brown color with a long to oblong shape.
A mild potato flavor with a soft texture and moderate density. Tends to bake up creamy and moist, not grainy. Moderately chewy skin. White to pale yellow interior. Medium specific gravity for most; newer generations grown in Idaho have higher starch content.
Grown primarily for the fresh market. Because of the uniform appearance, this variety has had good success in the retail grocery segment and foodservice. Well suited to all preparation types.
