potato (salad) 'Ratte'

A second early to main variety that has been popular in France for over 70 years due to its delicious tubers with a distinctive chestnut flavour. The tubers are long, oval-shaped and have smooth skin with waxy yellow flesh. They don't disintegrate during cooking and are delicious steamed, boiled and as a salad potato. The yields produced are moderate, not as productive as other varieties, but is worth the smaller number of tubers for the excellent taste.
