Russian Banana

Russian Banana is a classic fingerling potato of Baltic origin, long grown in North America and Europe as a gourmet variety. It produces small, slender, curved tubers shaped like a banana or small finger, with smooth yellow skin and firm, waxy deep-yellow flesh. The dense, low-moisture flesh has a rich, buttery flavor and holds its shape exceptionally well, making it ideal for roasting whole, boiling, potato salads, and pan-frying. A late-maturing fingerling, it produces clusters of many small tubers per plant and stores well for a fingerling. Prized by chefs and market gardeners for its flavor and attractive shape, Russian Banana is one of the most widely grown fingerlings.
