Vegetable
Agria
B tier
Agria is a yellow-fleshed processing and table potato prized for stable fry colour and good dry matter—common in European French fry plants and also sold fresh. Tubers are large and oval with light skin that peels efficiently. Flavour is clean; texture sits on the floury-to-medium side suited to oven fries. Excellent for oven fries, mash, and industrial processing specs that demand consistent solids. Home cooks meet it more often as an unnamed yellow in some markets. Store properly to hold fry quality and avoid cold-induced sweetening.
