Goldrush is a medium maturing russet cultivar grown primarily for the fresh market. The plant is medium-large with an upright growth habit, with medium-sized, moderately pubescent leaves having an open silhouette.

Stems are green with purple pigmentation at the base with moderate-sized, waved wings. Goldrush generally produces smooth tubers with few external and internal defects, although they can be variable in shape.

Gold Rush is a great alternative to Russet Burbank which has been a staple in many gardens for years. Gold Rush is an early maturing russet variety susceptible to early and late blight while also having good resistance to common scab.

Texture and taste are hard to match, very white and tasty for mashed potatoes, baked potato, stews, french fries, and perogies. The Goldrush Russet is a great golden potato which matures in 110-120 days, or late season.
