German Butterball Organic Seed Potatoes

German Butterball is a late-season heirloom potato with yellow flesh and a rich, buttery flavor. It is a good fit for gardeners who want a flavorful main crop for baking, roasting, mash, and winter meals.

Variety at a glance

  • Botanical name: Solanum tuberosum
  • Harvest season: Late season; timing varies with growing conditions.
  • Skin and flesh: golden, lightly netted skin; rich yellow flesh.
  • Cooking texture: tender and fluffy when fully cooked.
  • Best kitchen uses: everyday cooking, baking, mashing, roasting, soups.
  • Sold as: Organic seed potato tubers, priced per pound.

In the kitchen

Bake whole, roast in chunks, or mash for a golden-colored side dish. Its more floury texture is useful when you want tenderness rather than a very firm salad potato.

Growing and harvest

Allow a longer growing season for the main harvest. Cure sound, mature tubers before storage and keep them cool, dark, and ventilated.

Plant in full sun in loose, well-drained soil once spring soil conditions are suitable. Space seed pieces about 12 inches apart, allow room between rows for hilling, and keep developing tubers covered. Provide consistent moisture without waterlogging. Harvest new potatoes gently; for storage, wait for mature skins and cure sound tubers before storing.

For planting, harvest, and storage steps, see our potato growing guide.
