Notes

'German Butterball' potato (Solanum tuberosum 'German Butterball') is a vegetable for the food garden. It is typically grown as an annual. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun. It is grown for baking, boiling, frying, and baby potatoes picked early. The round tubers have smooth yellow skin and yellow flesh, and they store for several months.

Pairs well with Poblano pepper, Kent Beauty oregano, and Crimson clover.
