Russian Banana Fingerling Seed Potatoes are the superstar of fingerlings—easy to grow, reliably productive, and prized for their rich, buttery flavor. Originally developed in the Baltic region of Europe and Asia, this variety is widely known for its exceptional salad quality and popularity in gourmet kitchens.

These yellow, banana-shaped tubers have a waxy, firm texture and hold their shape well during cooking. They're ideal for warm potato salads, sheet pan dinners, and simple preparations like roasting with olive oil and herbs. With a mid-season maturity, strong performance, and long shelf life, Russian Banana is a go-to choice for chefs, market growers, and home gardeners alike.
