Wilja potatoes are round to oval tubers with a uniform shape and blunt, curved ends. The skin is firm, brown to yellow, and rough, covered in patches of russet with a few, shallow to medium-set eyes. Underneath the thick skin, the pale yellow to cream-colored flesh is dense with a balanced level of starch and moisture.

Wilja potatoes are a good source of vitamin C and potassium, which are essential vitamins and minerals that allow the body to regulate fluids, rebuild collagen, and maintain organ functioning. The tubers also contain fiber, vitamin B6, manganese, folate, phosphorus, and magnesium.

Wilja potatoes are best suited for cooked applications such as roasting, baking, and boiling. The tubers are known for holding their shape and can be boiled without crumbling. Wilja potatoes have a fluffy, soft consistency with the ability to hold their shape well when cooked. The tubers also have a robust, earthy flavor.
