German Butterball Seed Potato (lb)

German Butterball Seed Potatoes are a creamy, yellow-fleshed heirloom variety introduced by David Ronniger in 1988. Known for their rich, buttery flavor and all-purpose versatility, these potatoes earned first place in Rodale’s Organic Gardening “Taste Off” and continue to be a top pick for home gardeners and chefs alike.

This dependable late-season variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. With consistent moisture, German Butterball delivers excellent yields and stores well after harvest. Its creamy texture makes it perfect for mashed potatoes, baked dishes, or golden roasted wedges—bringing outstanding flavor to any recipe.
