Kennebec Potato

(Kennebec Potatoes)

Kennebec is a potato variety that's predominantly grown and used in the United States and Canada. These all-purpose potatoes are large in size with thin skin and a texture that's slightly rough, with brown spots and shallow eyes visible on the skin.


The flesh is firm and starchy with minimal water content, while the flavor is nutty, rich, and earthy. The potatoes are most commonly used for potato chips, fries, hash browns, shoestring potatoes, and Hasselback potatoes. They can be roasted, mashed, baked, or fried due to their versatile qualities.


This hybrid variety was originally created in Beltsville, Maryland in 1941. The name of these potatoes is derived from a famous river in Maine.
