BARON

Baron potatoes are large tubers with an oval, round, to oblong shape. The skin is semi-thick, ranges from smooth to slightly rough and flaky, and is golden yellow with some dark brown spots. The skin may also bear some shallow to medium-set eyes that are tinged with shades of pink or red.

Underneath the surface, the flesh is dense, firm, and dark yellow. Baron potatoes contain high starch content, and when cooked, the flesh becomes fluffy, soft, and tender with a mild, earthy flavor. Baron potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant that can help protect and boost the immune system.

The tubers also contain fiber, potassium, some vitamin B6, and iron. Baron potatoes are best suited for cooked applications such as mashing, boiling, and frying. The tubers are considered a versatile variety that can be used in everyday cooking and are popularly boiled, sliced and fried.
