Magic Molly

seed potatoes

Solanum tuberosum
Deep purple skin, deep purple flesh. This rockstar potato just won’t stop. Pick them early for sweet little fingerlings or hold out for larger potatoes later in the season.

A rich purple, so deep it’s almost black, from skin to center. Distinctively earthy flavor and pleasantly waxy texture. A fantastic addition to a dish of roasted mixed vegetables. Ian Jerolmack of Stonecipher Farm in Bowdoinham, ME, has Molly fans among his restaurant accounts; they incited a small riot after his Mollies had been bought up.

Vigorous plants, high yields and few diseases. We love Magic Molly so much it inspired the creation of our 2017 cover art superhero. Magic Molly the superhero is invincible, but Magic Molly the potato has a slight inclination to scab.

We have no suitable substitutions for this unusual variety: even if you accept substitutions, you will receive a refund instead of potatoes if this variety is out of stock.

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.
