Envol

×
seed potatoes
Solanum tuberosum
Buff skin, white flesh. The earliest of the early. One farm reported having no Colorado potato beetle damage on their Envols because the potatoes matured before the beetles even arrived!

Tubers average more than a third of a pound each, making Envol the consistent winner in our size trials for early varieties. Round spuds with a floury texture (good for mashing and baking) and thin skins that are smooth and easy to peel or unobtrusive if left on. Stores quite well for such an early potato.

Bred in Quebec in the ’80s. Some heat tolerance. Resists hollow heart. Susceptible to scab. PVP.
