Treasured by gardeners for decades, Yukon Gold Potato is a popular early-season potato that produces a big, great-tasting crop of yellow-fleshed spuds with thin, gold skins and shallow eyes. Its moist flesh and sweet, buttery flavor make it a favorite for boiling, baking, frying, mashing and made into potato salads. The plants produce plenty of spuds that can be harvested at the new potato and mature stages. This sprout-resistant potato stores well too, so you can enjoy richly flavored spuds for months.
