‘Alaska Bloom’ Potato (Solanum tuberosum) produces tubers with yellow skin marked with pink eyes and white flesh. This subtle contrast makes the variety recognizable at harvest time and adds diversity to the garden. Reserve a row or a clearly labeled container for it to track its growth separately from other potatoes. After harvesting, choose a preparation suitable for the size of the tubers and keep only those that are healthy, firm, and not greened for your family's meals. The packet contains 500 g of seed tubers, to be planted in your garden in spring.

Plant in spring when the ground is thawed, well-drained, and sufficiently warmed. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base of the plant to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. In containers, ensure sufficient depth to gradually add substrate and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away.

Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize eating potatoes with still delicate skin. To store a ripe harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are for planting; only harvested, healthy, non-green tubers are to be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries. Also, check the condition of the potatoes during storage to remove any that are deteriorating.

Growing method

Plant in spring when the ground has thawed, is well-drained, and sufficiently warmed. Choose full sun and loose, fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare accessible rows for maintenance, then plant the seed tubers with the sprouts facing upwards. As they grow, mound soil around the base to keep new tubers protected from light. Water regularly when the soil dries out, without saturating it. If planting in containers, ensure sufficient depth to progressively add growing medium and keep drainage holes clear so that excess water can drain away. Harvest carefully to avoid damaging the tubers with your tools. Set aside any damaged ones and prioritize eating potatoes with fragile skins. To store a mature harvest, choose a dark, cool, and airy place that protects the tubers from light. The plants sold here are intended for planting; only harvested, healthy, and non-greened tubers should be eaten after cooking. Do not eat the leaves, stems, sprouts, or berries.

Edible parts

Tubers harvested sound and not green, after cooking; exclude sprouts, leaves, stems, and berries
Herb Roasted Potatoes. Use healthy potatoes from your harvest, that are not green and have no sprouts. Wash them carefully, remove any damaged parts, and cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly. Mix them with a little oil, salt, pepper, and herbs of your choice, such as thyme or rosemary. Spread them in a single layer in a dish or on a baking sheet, without overcrowding. Roast them in the oven until the outside is golden brown and the flesh is tender when pricked. Flip the pieces during cooking to brown multiple sides. Serve with vegetables, a salad, or your main course. You can add fresh chives just before serving. Adjust cooking time based on the size of the pieces and your oven. This recipe uses tubers harvested from the garden, never plants sold for planting, leaves, berries, or sprouts.
