Variety Information: ˜Clancy is an ideal œcreamer� potato with fine texture, making it very versatile. Potatoes may be round or elongated (fingerling); the skins can be rose blush to red or creamy yellow, some with red spots or dots. ˜Clancy was bred by Peter van Hest; it is the first potato from seed that is an AAS winner. Seeds are sterile which helps prevent diseases from spreading like they can on a tuber.

We're excited about a potato grown from seed! 'Clancy' grows in a diversity of colors and has great quality; it even won the 2019 All-America Selections award! Small, 3/4"-1 1/2" potatoes are both round and fingerling shaped with smooth skin in a mix of shades between rose gold and red. This "creamer" potato has a pale yellow to white interior and creamy texture when cooked. To increase harvest, hill soil around plants a few times as they grow. Potatoes can be harvested any time after they flower and before a hard freeze. Seeds are pelleted with an organic coating for easy handling. 12 seeds
