STEFANIE

The 'Stefanie' potato is a German variety known for its suitability in challenging growing conditions. It is an early-maturing, predominantly waxy (B) table potato. The tubers are long-oval with smooth, yellow skin and shallow eyes. 'Stefanie' is notable for its comprehensive resistance to potato wart disease, specifically pathotypes 1, 2, 6, and 18.

In culinary applications, 'Stefanie' potatoes are versatile due to their texture and flavor, making them suitable for various dishes. Their early maturity allows for a swift harvest, and their robust nature makes them ideal for regions with less-than-ideal growing conditions.

While 'Stefanie' is well-regarded in Europe, particularly in Germany, its availability in other regions may be limited. Gardeners and farmers interested in this variety should consult local seed suppliers or agricultural extensions to determine its suitability and availability in their area.
