Fingerling potatoes are known for their exceptional yields, and Ozette stands among the most generous producers in this category, returning 15 to 20 times what you plant. The variety grows vigorously in full sun with low water needs, making it exceptionally low-maintenance once established. Because you can harvest new potatoes beginning 60 days after planting, you don't have to wait long to enjoy the first taste of what you've grown. Certified disease-free seed potatoes ensure you start with healthy stock, and the variable harvest window means you can dig up test plants to check maturity and harvest at whatever size you prefer.
Ozette potatoes are harvested fresh as new potatoes starting around 60 days after planting, or left in the ground longer for standard mature potatoes. Their fingerling shape and high yield make them excellent for roasting, boiling, and side dishes where you want quantity without fussiness. The variety's nutritional density, with levels of vitamin C and phytonutrients comparable to broccoli, positions it as a garden staple for home cooks who care about what goes into their food.
No timeline data available yet for this variety.
Plant potato pieces or whole potatoes up to 3 weeks before your last frost date. Larger potatoes can be cut into smaller pieces before planting to stretch your seed stock.
New potatoes can be harvested as early as 60 days after planting by digging carefully around the base of plants and selecting smaller tubers without disturbing the entire plant. For standard full-size potatoes, dig up a test plant to check for maturity; mature skins should remain firmly in place rather than slipping off easily. Harvest before potatoes spend too much time in the soil, as extended underground residence increases the risk of insect damage and disease. The generous yield means you'll have abundant potatoes to harvest at whatever size suits your immediate cooking needs.
