Vegetable
Marfona
B tier
Marfona is a large, smooth, pale potato with moist firm-to-medium flesh that bakes and boils without falling apart—popular for jacket potatoes that stay creamy rather than fluffy-dry inside. Dutch origins and wide European trials made it a commercial baking option for foodservice loaded jackets and canteens. Bake whole, boil for wedges, or cube for traybakes with other roots. Less suited to ultra-crisp roast fluff. Good skin integrity when scrubbed, which matters when the jacket is part of the plate presentation for diners.
