Kennebec Potatoes

Productive and Blight Resistant

Young tubers are tasty for creaming. Later, good for boiling, mashing, baking—smooth with shallow eyes. Stores well.

Product Details
Zones: 3 - 9 annual
Height: 2-3 feet
Spacing: 12 to 15 inches
Depth: 3 to 5 inches 30 to 36 inches between rows
Spread: 18-24 inches
Sun/Shade: full sun
Days To Maturity: Main season potato 80-100 days
Yield: 100 lbs /100 foot row
Fruit: Very thin, smooth white skin, white smooth textured flesh. Oval shaped
Comments: Whole sets will get off to an earlier start and produce higher yields. Stores well. Resistant to mosaic, late blight, net necrosis. Very dependable top yielder. Grows in any climate. Has very large leaf and vine habit. Fertilize at planting time. Mound soil over row as plants emerge to protect tubers from turning green in sun. Harvest after tops turn yellow. Can be stored at 40-50 degrees F (cooler temps turn starch to sugar and warmer temps may cause them to sprout). Sprinkle a tablespoon of 10-10-10 fertilizer in the space between each potato piece. Do not apply the fertilizer directly to the potatoes as it can burn the tubers. After plants are 8-1 inches tall, use a hoe and pile several inches of soil up around the stems. This is called hilling. This prevents exposure to the sun which causes tubers to become green and inedible.

I grew your kennebec potatoes for the first time last summer in hay. When I discovered the largest potatoe I had uncovered was half the size of our dinner plates I decided right then that these were the potatoes for us. they tased great and stored wonerfully.

Best Mashed Potatoes Ever
Reviewed By: Vinnie (Morgantown, WV)
First time growing potatoes and grew about 200 lbs worth in a 40 foot row. We had potatoes that weighed 3 pounds each. Not the best for baking potatoes but are superior for mashing.
