Adirondack Potato, Blue - 10lb
Dorr Farms’ Adirondack Blue potatoes bring real depth both visually and flavor-wise. Developed in the Adirondack region of New York through modern breeding focused on color and eating quality, this variety carries a striking deep indigo-blue flesh all the way through the tuber — not just in the skin.
But these aren’t novelty potatoes. The flavor is noticeably fuller than most colored varieties: earthy, slightly nutty, and more mineral-driven than standard white or yellow potatoes.
The rich blue pigment comes from naturally occurring anthocyanins — the same compounds found in blueberries and purple cabbage — which also help the flesh hold color surprisingly well through cooking.

- Dense, creamy texture

These potatoes bring more than color to the plate — they bring structure, flavor, and a visual identity that chefs can build around without sacrificing eating quality.
