Potatoes, Red - Certified Organic - BC

Certified Organic Red Apple Potatoes

Don't let the name fool you—Red Apple is the potato variety, and there isn't an apple involved!

These beautiful Certified Organic potatoes are grown on our farm at Shuswap Organics in Grindrod, BC. Red Apple potatoes have smooth, deep-red skin with light-yellow flesh and a lovely refined texture.

They're a great all-purpose table potato: easy to prepare, versatile enough for everyday meals and pretty enough to leave the skins on.

Why You’ll Love Them

• Certified Organic

• Grown on our farm in Grindrod, BC

• Beautiful deep-red skin and light-yellow flesh

• Smooth skin with shallow eyes—easy to prep without peeling

• Versatile for everyday cooking

• Good storage qualities

Great For

Roasting, boiling, potato salad, soups, stews, sheet-pan dinners and breakfast potatoes.

Try cutting them into chunks, tossing with a little oil, garlic and salt, and roasting them with the red skins left on. You get all that beautiful colour without the extra work of peeling.

Storage

Store potatoes in a cool, dark, dry and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.

Keep them separate from onions, and don't wash them until you're ready to use them.

Red Apple has very good natural dormancy, making it a variety that stores well when kept under the right conditions.

Build Your Basket

Add carrots, onions and garlic for the beginnings of countless fall and winter meals, or pair with cabbage and sausages for an easy sheet-pan dinner.

Good to Know

Red Apple is the name of the variety—not a description of the flavour. The variety was bred in the Netherlands and is now registered in Canada. Its naturally deep-red skin surrounds surprisingly light-yellow flesh.

It's also considered particularly well suited to organic production, with good tolerance to stressful growing conditions—one of the reasons it's an interesting variety for farms like ours to grow.

How to Stretch This

Leave those colourful skins on whenever you can—there's no need to peel them for most meals.

Cook a few extra potatoes at dinner and refrigerate the leftovers. The next day, slice them into breakfast potatoes, toss them into a potato salad or smash them onto a baking sheet and roast until crispy.
