Gold Rush is a great alternative to Russet Burbank which has been a staple in many gardens for years. Gold Rush is an early maturing russet variety susceptible to early and late blight while also having good resistance to common scab. Texture and taste are hard to match, very white and tasty for mashed potatoes, baked potato, stews, french fries, and perogies!

Planting – Place potatoes 4-5” deep and 12-14” apart with at least 3 feet between rows.  Cover potatoes with 2-3” of soil. Larger potatoes can be cut prior to planting. Ensure there is an equal number of eyes on each cut piece.

Growing – Hill plants once they begin to emerge from the soil.  Continue to pull dirt up around the plants as they grow.  Keep the soil moist, but not overly saturated during the growing season.  Containers may need daily watering.

Harvest –  Flowering is often an indicator young potatoes are almost ready to harvest.  For winter storage, potatoes should remain in the ground until light frosts or natural maturity dry down the leaves and stems.
