Mid-season, tan skin, light yellow flesh. As lovely as the rising crescent moon on a summer’s eve, with unearthly yields. Forget fingers: some sources mention Austrian Crescent tubers as long as 10"! Also called Kipfel, the German word for a croissant. Croissants have the butter baked in, but we recommend slathering your roasted fingerlings. Combine with Magic Molly and AmaRosa for a rainbow potato salad. Moderate scab resistance.

Additional Information

Fingerling Seed Potatoes

Solanum tuberosum
Fingerlings are long and thin, shaped like small fish or maybe even fingers, displaying various skin and flesh colors. Fingerlings are often prolific and disease-resistant. Though mostly late maturing, the plants set heavily and small ones can be harvested early. Chefs, market farmers and home gardeners find these beautiful potatoes have unequaled culinary qualities and flavor.

Seed Potatoes Solanum tuberosum

One pound of seed will usually plant 5–8 row feet, depending on the variety; 10# will usually plant 50 row feet.

  • Early potatoes mature in 65-80 days.
  • Midseason potatoes mature in 80-90 days
  • Late potatoes mature in more than 90 days
