History and information about Mayan Gold

Mayan Gold is a unique heritage variety, because they are the first potato in the UK from the indigenous Phureja potatoes of Peru. Mayan Gold originated from the foothills of the Andes of Peru where its ancestors were once farmed by the Incas. Mayan Gold produces long oval, parti pink skinned tubers with deep yellow flesh. Getting more and more popular for its unique taste, with a nutty flavour proving to be an exceptional variety for chips, crisps, roasties and baked/Jacket potatoes.

An added bonus is that Phureja potatoes take less time to cook.
