Irish Cobbler Potato is an heirloom variety that dates back to the 1870s. This early-maturing potato variety makes some of the best mashed potatoes you could ever have! It also works great for potato salad and soup. Irish Cobbler Potato produces medium-sized tubers with tan skin, deep eyes, and a slightly netted skin. Plants are early to produce consistently-high yields of brick-shaped potatoes that are great for boiling or baking. This is widely considered one of the best tasting early-maturing potato varieties.

Cooking – Boils and bakes exceptionally well. Very popular for its distinctive taste and dry, creamy flesh.

Planting – Place potatoes 4-5” deep and 12-16” 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.
