INCA-NO-MEZAME

Mezame potatoes are small and petite in size and are elongated, oblong, and spherical in shape, averaging only two ounces in weight. The smooth golden-brown skin contains a few, shallow eyes and there are bumps and indentations across the surface creating a lopsided texture.

The flesh is deep yellow and firm, dense, viscous, and moist. Mezame potatoes offer a nutty, sweet, and creamy taste similar to that of chestnuts and sweet potatoes. Mezame potatoes are a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B1, potassium, and niacin.

Mezame potatoes are best suited for cooked applications such as grilling, roasting, baking, or frying. They can be added to soups, curry, stews, croquette, potato salads, and baked goods. Mezame potatoes can hold their shape well when cooked and will not deteriorate when added to soups.
