Variety Description

Ambo potatoes are medium in size and are long, oval, to round in shape. The semi-smooth skin ranges in color from light beige to brown and there are vibrant blushes of red and pink that cover large areas on the surface. There are also many deep, red-hued eyes found across the skin.

The flesh is creamy white, firm, and slippery. Ambo potatoes are both waxy and floury and have a neutral, earthy flavor.Ambo potatoes are an all-purpose variety that was selected for their drought tolerance, resistance to disease, and high yield. Ambo potatoes are high in antioxidants, vitamin C and B, potassium, and thiamin.

Ambo potatoes are best suited for cooked applications such as boiling, baking, and roasting and are excellent at holding their shape. The skin can be left on when cooked and will provide the highest amount of nutrients. Ambo potatoes can be boiled and added to potato salads or a classic Niçoise salad.
