Solanum tuberosum
Very early season, pink skin, yellow flesh.

Red Gold will usher in the summer and knock out any spring doldrums. The bright gold flesh shines like the July sun under which you’ll be harvesting. One of the most stunning potatoes in our lineup.

Plant close together for a ton of tasty little ovals or farther apart for a heavier yield. With creamy sweetness roasted or fried, Red Gold has a reputation for the hands-down best flavor of all the early varieties.

Not a great storer. Will stand up against too-wet soil and even some blight.
