Patata Naxou | Local Potato From Naxos Island, Greece | TasteAtlas

Patata Naxou

(Πατάτα Νάξου, Naxos potatoes)

These are Liseta, Spunta, Marfona, Vivaldi, and Alaska variety potatos grown on the island of Naxos. They have a smooth yellow skin and contain over 18% starch and less than 1% sugar. These potatos are harvested by hand twice a year, from mid-February to March and from August to September.


Since they are harvested earlier than other potatoes, they is highly sought after on the market and fetch a higher price. Patata Naxou is famous throughout Greece, and is one of the main ingredients in many recipes. To promote this tasty potato, Naxos local authorities hold the Annual Naxos Potato Festival every August, which has marked a 10% increase in attendance every year.
