Papa criolla

Papa criolla is a potato variety that's native to South America and it's especially popular in Colombia. These tubers are small in size, similar to a golf ball. The flesh is yellow to dark yellow, an indication of high lutein and zeaxanthin content.

The Colombian papas criollas grow wild in the highlands of the Andes. The skin is thin and tender. These potatoes are often used in traditional dishes such as ajiaco soup, but they are also roasted, fries, boiled, mashed, or even skewered and grilled.
