Golden Wonder potato

Golden Wonder potato

Golden Wonder is a late maincrop russet skinned variety of potato and is reputed by some to have the best flavour of all potato varieties. It is very dry and floury and is ideal for baking, roasting, and frying.

The potato was originally found in the UK, by a Mr. Brown of Arbroath, Scotland in 1906 and is believed to be a variation of the variety "Maincrop" (syn."Langworthy").

Unfortunately, yields of this potato tend to be on the low side. Although they can be susceptible to some diseases, slug and blight resistance are reasonable. Because of the good keeping qualities, and very good taste (and in fact it is said to be better 2 months after lifting), they are well worth growing.

The crisp company Golden Wonder was named after the potato.
