Onaway potatoes are medium to large in size and are round to oblong in shape. The skin is semi-smooth and a light burlap brown with a few, medium set eyes. The skin also has dark brown spots and light brown bumps covering the surface causing a slightly flaky texture.

The flesh is off-white to pale yellow and has a firm, dense, and starchy consistency. When cooked, Onaway potatoes become tender and creamy and have a rich flavor with nuances of butter and hazelnut. Onaway potatoes contain vitamins C, B, and potassium.

They also contain trace amounts of niacin, iron, zinc, and riboflavin. Onaway potatoes are best suited for cooked applications such as mashing, baking, boiling, and roasting. Their high moisture content makes them ideal for mashing or pureeing, and they can be used as a thickener in soups, stews, and sauces.
