Solanum tuberosum
Mid-season, pink-splashed purple skin, white flesh.

A crowd pleaser at market and fresh out of the oven, the Purple Viking’s got show-stopping purple skin with vivid pink splashes that are sure to reel in an audience.

Its creamy rich flesh when baked, roasted or mashed will keep the everyone happy. For size, style, yield and taste, it’s an all-around winner.

Vikings grow on the large knobby side, so if you want smaller, more uniform potatoes plant closer than 10" apart. Shows some resistance to leaf hoppers.

We have no suitable substitutions for this unusual variety: even if you accept substitutions, you will receive a refund instead of potatoes if this variety is out of stock.
