BLUE BELLE

Blue Belle potatoes are medium to large tubers and have a uniform, oval shape with blunt curved ends. The skin is smooth, semi-thick, and firm with a golden yellow base, showcasing distinct, blue-purple spots of varying sizes around the shallow eyes.

Underneath the surface, the flesh ranges from pale yellow to ivory and is fine-grained and smooth with a dense, primarily waxy consistency. When cooked, Blue Belle potatoes have a moderate starch content, developing a mild, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor.

Blue Belle potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that strengthens the immune system, reduces inflammation, and boosts collagen production within the skin. The tubers are also a good source of vitamin B6 to develop neurotransmitters.

Blue Belle potatoes are best suited for cooked applications, including roasting, baking, frying, mashing, and boiling. The tubers can be cooked with the skin on and hold their shape fairly well when heated as the moderate starch content creates a soft but still firm texture.
