This yellow-fleshed, mid-season maturing variety has thin, smooth skin and a mouthwatering waxy\/creamy texture. With its impeccable storage ability, long shelf life, and amazing flavor, Yukon Gold is a favorite for all-purpose cooking. Garnet \"Gary\" Johnston spent decades developing this scrumptious variety at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. It is said that one of the graduate students in Johnston's lab was from Peru and introduced him to a highly sought-after yellow potato from the Peruvian Andes. Yukon Gold is an especially good choice for making Peruvian-inspired potato dishes, as it is similar to \u003cem\u003epapa amarilla\u003c\/em\u003e of the Andes.

It prefers slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. The plants require full sun, receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Consistent watering is important, especially during tuber formation, but avoid overwatering to prevent rot. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature, contributing to healthier plants and larger yields.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511805280542,"sku":"PT116","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/potato_yukon_gold_1.jpg?v=1782405816","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/potato-yukon-gold-10-micro-tubers","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
