The ‘Kennebec’ is a large potato, and it looks very pretty with its light and attractive white fleshy insides. The skin is thin so it peels quickly and it’s a nice oval potato so it is more attractive on the plate than some other irregularly-shaped ones. It is an easily-grown main crop potato, the plant has a high and dependable yield of large potatoes, it resists blight and other diseases well, and the potatoes winter very well for a long storage time.
