Developed by European breeders and now widely admired in North America, Mascarade is a stunning gourmet specialty potato prized for its dramatic creamy skin splashed with vivid purple-magenta blotches and its exceptionally rich, buttery flavor.

Quick Facts:

• Latin Name: Solanum tuberosum
• Type: Mid-to-late season specialty / creamer potato
• Skin Color: Creamy-white to pale yellow with bold purple-magenta splashes and speckles
• Flesh Color: Deep golden-yellow
• Days to Maturity: 100–115 days
• Yield: Very high — one of the most prolific varieties available; 1 lb planted typically returns 12–20 lb harvested
• Planting Rate: 10–14 whole or cut seed pieces per lb (2–3 oz pieces with 2–3 eyes each); space 10–12" apart in rows 30–36" apart

Flavor Profile: Mascarade offers an outstanding rich, buttery taste with subtle sweetness and faint chestnut-like notes. The dense, moist, low-to-medium starch flesh becomes silky-creamy when cooked yet holds its shape beautifully for roasting, boiling, or steaming. The striking purple-splashed skin retains most of its color after cooking, making it one of the most photogenic potatoes on the market. Ideal roasted whole, in warm potato salads, gratins, or simply tossed with butter and herbs.

SHIPPING NOTE: Seed potatoes don’t start shipping until late February. If you are in a far-north area and we don’t think they will arrive unharmed, we will hold them until conditions improve.

Mascarade is a top choice for home gardeners, market growers, and restaurants looking for a high-yielding, show-stopping potato that combines dramatic beauty with deep, satisfying flavor.
