Chieftain	Oval to oblong, smooth bright red skin, shallow to medium-deep eyes, white flesh. Good to excellent for boiling. Good for chipping at harvest. Excellent for French-frying. Not suitable for processing.   High yielding variety. Widely adapted. Under sizing can be a problem if soil moisture becomes limiting. Well suited for washing at maturity. Good storability.
Desiree	Long to oval, medium to large, smooth red skin, medium-deep to shallow eyes, pale yellow flesh. Good for boiling. Suitable for frying and chipping.   High yielding variety. Uniform in grading, tubers can become irregular under heavy soil and high moisture conditions. Good resistance to growth cracks, hollow heart, internal and external bruising, and drought. Short dormancy period, good storability.
Frontier Russet	Oblong to long, russetted tan-brown skin with diffuse brown spotting, medium to light russet, shallow eyes, well distributed, white flesh. Excellent for French-frying directly from the field and for the first few month in storage. Very good for baking.   Moderately high yielding variety that produce high quality tuber. Good resistance to hollow heart and blackspot. Susceptible to growth cracks and internal brown spot. Long dormancy period.
Goldrush	Oblong to long, dark brown skin, many eyes; shallow and well distributed, they may show a reddish blush after storage, very white flesh. Excellent for baking and boiling. Very good for French-frying if processed from harvest or short term storage. Its very white flesh, texture and excellent flavour make it particularly suitable for home and restaurant.   High yielding variety. Tubers are usually smooth and quite uniform with very few external or internal defects. Very good resistance to hollow heart. Good storability. Medium dormancy period.
Kennebec	Elliptical to oblong, medium thick smooth skin, shallow eyes, white flesh. Good to excellent for boiling, baking, chipping and French-frying.   High yielding fast growing variety. Widely adapted. Requires close planting and vine killing to avoid producing oversized and rough tubers. Excellent storage quality. Long dormancy period. Green rapidly when exposed to light.
Norland	Medium oblong, slightly flattened, medium thick smooth red skin, shallow eyes, white flesh. Very good for boiling and French-frying. Good for chipping. Fair for baking.   High yielding variety, adapts well to different soils. Sensitive to drought, susceptible to skinning and bruising if harvested before maturity; washes well at maturity. Short dormancy period, but stores well. Seldom produces tubers that are irregular in shape or growth cracked. Tubers are not subject to internal defects like hollow heart, internal necrosis and vascular discoloration.
Ranger Russet	Long, slightly flattened, russetted brown skin, medium deep eyes, evenly distributed; white flesh. Good for baking and early French-frying.   Medium to high yielding variety. Very resistant to heat necrosis and hollow heart. Very susceptible to blackspot bruises. Moderately susceptible to growth cracks. Good storability, short dormancy period.
Red La Soda	Elliptical to slightly oblong, bright deep red skin, medium-deep wide eyes, white flesh. Good for boiling, baking, chipping and French-frying.   High yielding variety. Resistant to tipburn, wind, heat and drought damage. Some resistance to mechanical bruising. Slightly susceptible to hollow heart and growth cracks. Wide adaptation. Good storability with medium dormancy.
Russet Burbank	Large, long, cylindrical or slightly flattened, lightly to heavily netted russet-colored skin, many shallow evenly distributed eyes, white flesh. Excellent for boiling, baking, chipping, and French-frying.   Medium to high yielding variety. Washes well at maturity. Long dormancy period, stores well. Requires a uniform moisture supply and long growing season to produce maximum quality tubers and to prevent knobbiness and second growth.
Russet Norkotah	Long to slightly oblong, smooth. Heavy, dark, russeted and netted skin. Shallow bright golden eyes, white flesh. Good for baking. Poor to moderate for boiling with some after cooking discoloration. Poor for chipping.   Medium yielding variety. Wide adaptability. Resistant to hollow heart. Good storability. Medium dormancy period. Tuber shape and type are very appropriate for the count-carton market. Not well suited for processing.
Shepody	Long, smooth to lightly netted buff skin, medium deep eyes, evenly distributed, white flesh. Excellent for boiling, baking, and French-frying. Unsuitable for chipping.   High yielding variety. Good resistance to second growth.  Grades well with few culls. Good storage quality, needs through-the-pile ventilation.
Superior	Oval to oblong, smooth shaped, uniform size, smooth to lightly flaked buff skin, evenly distributed medium-deep eyes, white flesh. Fair to good for boiling, baking and French-frying. Excellent for chipping.   Medium yielding variety. Self fertile, well adapted to mechanical harvesting. Short dormancy period. Stores well. Washes excellently. Tubers size early and are not subject to internal defects.
Yukon Gold	Oval, slightly flattened, finely flaked yellowish white skin, shallow pink eyes, light yellow flesh. Very good for boiling, baking, and French-frying. Unsuitable for chipping. Retains its yellow flesh color when cooked.   Medium to high yielding variety. Large tubers are slightly susceptible to hollow heart. Excellent storability. Long dormancy period.
