The Ostara potato is an early-maturing, high-yielding variety with smooth, yellow skin and flesh. It has an oval to round shape and is versatile in the kitchen, ideal for boiling, roasting, and salads due to its creamy texture. Ostara has good resistance to common scab and potato virus A, though it may be moderately susceptible to late blight. It matures quickly, making it suitable for early harvests and regions with shorter growing seasons.
