Flavor Profile: Mascarade offers an outstanding rich, buttery taste with subtle sweetness and faint chestnut-like notes. The dense, moist, low-to-medium starch flesh becomes silky-creamy when cooked yet holds its shape beautifully for roasting, boiling, or steaming. The striking purple-splashed skin retains most of its color after cooking, making it one of the most photogenic potatoes on the market. Ideal roasted whole, in warm potato salads, gratins, or simply tossed with butter and herbs.

SHIPPING NOTE: Seed potatoes don’t start shipping until late February. If you are in a far-north area and we don’t think they will arrive unharmed, we will hold them until conditions improve.

Mascarade is a top choice for home gardeners, market growers, and restaurants looking for a high-yielding, show-stopping potato that combines dramatic beauty with deep, satisfying flavor.
