avorita is a yellow-fleshed, waxy potato variety bred by J. Elzinga in the Netherlands and introduced in 1974. It has a smooth yellow skin, shallow eyes, and firm texture, making it ideal for boiling, salads, and steaming. Favorita matures early, yields well, and stores effectively, though it's not suitable for frying or mashing due to its low starch content.
