Yellow Finn
Planting Schedule
Sunlit and smooth, Yellow Finn potatoes bring a warm, golden glow to the garden and the pan—creamy flesh under a thin, even yellow skin. Expect a tender, fine-grained texture with a gently buttery flavor that shines when roasted to crisp edges or boiled for velvety mash. A dependable 90-day performer, it’s a market-class yellow that gardeners love for its consistent shape and reliable harvest.
