Kipfler (Solanum tuberosum) is a certified seed potato variety known for its small, elongated shape, yellow-brown skin, and yellow flesh. It is highly favoured in gourmet dishes, especially for salads, boiling, mashing, and roasting.
Originating from Austria, 'Kipfler' is an heirloom fingerling potato that is best enjoyed when freshly harvested. It possesses vigorous growth and boasts deliciously creamy, yellow flesh, making it a beloved choice worldwide. This early-maturing variety can be harvested in approximately 90-100 days.
Seed potatoes undergo controlled field conditions to ensure they are authentic and free from disease, promoting robust plant growth and increased yield. It is recommended to plant them after frost season in a well-lit and warm space for a few weeks to encourage short, thick sprouts. Before planting, cut tubers with at least one or two noticeable eyes, but be sure to allow the cut portions to dry, preventing the risk of rot. It is important not to make the pieces too small as it can decrease yield.
Cover tubers 15 cm deep with well-prepared soil or mulch (25-30 cm). Harvest them when the foliage turns yellow and stops growing, usually 90-100 days after planting. Early harvests may be taken as soon as small baby potatoes are ready to use but bear in mind that this may reduce the yield of larger potatoes.
