Purple Viking Potato is a superior, all-purpose variety that is especially delicious for baking. Beneath the colorful skin, you'll find creamy white, meaty, moist flesh with a sweet and buttery flavor. It's so delicious that taste testers preferred the taste of Purple Viking over the popular Yukon potato. Excellent for storage, this purple-skinned spud has a high resistance to scab and some resistance to leaf hoppers. Matures in 60-days to 80-days.
