Sarpo Mira

Vegetable

Sarpo Mira

B tier

Sarpo Mira is famous for late-blight resistance—pink-red skin, cream-yellow flesh, and a floury-leaning bake and mash habit that lets organic and wet-climate growers succeed where susceptible heritage types fail. Hungarian Sarpo breeding targeted survival first; flavour and texture won secondary fans who needed potatoes in bad blight years. Roast, mash, and bake with confidence when foliage disease is rampant nearby. Tubers can run large. A strategic choice for gardens without spray regimes. Texture is more floury than salad waxies, so lean into mash and roast rather than firm vinaigrette salads.
