Late Petoskey or Russet Rural Potatoes
This variety has been the standard late variety of Michigan but of late is losing favor somewhat because it is not as white in color as the market demands. When grown on light colored sandy soils, the skin is very light in color and it has a fine appearance. When grown on dark loam or clay soils, the color is not so good. It is recognized as the best winter keeper and as the heaviest yielding sort as well as a good cooking variety.
