Pohlmans Pontiac Potato is a medium to large sized potato commonly used as a fantastic roasting and baked potato. It has a pink coloured skin with white flesh and is also used as a washed potato in sales, and is great for steaming and boiling with its cleaner, smoother skin. Potatoes are high in carbohydrates, low in calories, but high in fibre. Plant the potatoes 13 cm deep and then cover with a mulch 25-30 cm apart.
Harvest potatoes by lifting plant when it begins to wilt, generally 16-18 weeks from planting, as this is a sign the plant has matured, dig up potatoes and check the colour and firmness to see if your first harvest is ready to consume.
