The Monza potato variety is a versatile, moderate-yielding potato with light-colored, smooth skin and pale yellow to cream-colored flesh. Known for its oval to round shape, it’s suitable for various culinary uses, including boiling, mashing, and baking, thanks to its mild flavor and smooth texture. Monza offers moderate disease resistance, particularly to late blight, and performs well in sandy soils, making it a resilient choice in diverse growing conditions.
