Santè
Sante potatoes widely range in size from small to large, depending on growing conditions, and generally have a short, oval to oblong, uniform shape. The skin is semi-thick, smooth, and yellow, bearing many shallow eyes. The skin is also often covered in a coating of dried soil, giving the tubers a light brown appearance. Underneath the surface, the flesh is golden yellow and dense, containing a low starch and high dry matter content. Sante potatoes are considered a universal variety, encompassing textural qualities of both floury and starchy potatoes. When cooked, the tubers have a subtly sweet, earthy, and mild flavor with a soft but firm, fluffy consistency.
Seasons/Availability
Sante potatoes are available year-round.
Current Facts
Sante potatoes, botanically classified as Solanum tuberosum, are a multi-purpose Dutch variety belonging to the Solanaceae or nightshade family. The yellow tubers are a medium-early cultivar created to showcase improved resistance to disease, extended storage capabilities, and high yields. The tubers are ready for harvest approximately 80 to 90 days after planting and were selectively bred to grow in compact spaces. In Europe, the variety is a choice potato for processing and is heavily used in restaurants. Sante potatoes are also planted in home gardens, especially in Russia, valued for their easy-to-grow and hardy nature.
