About Purple Sun
95–110 days. Bred by the USDA for high vitamin C and carotenoid levels, this potato is also dramatic-looking and delicious. Round to oblong tubers with dark purple skin and a contrasting yellow interior. Eat with skin on for best effect. Very tasty roasted, boiled, or fried. Described by a New York Times food critic as having a "full earthy flavor that hints of hazelnuts." Firm but not waxy, stores up to five months. Also called Peter Wilcox.
About Potato
Single plants in pots or a pound of seed potatoes. Potatoes are usually indeterminate, growing in multiple layers and best planted by adding more soil on top as they grow. They have bigger harvests than determinate potatoes, which are earlier and a little easier, growing in a single layer.
