OriginFrance

The Pink Fir Apple potato is a maincrop potato variety with a long knobbly shape, pink skin, and creamy waxy flesh.[1] Its shape makes it difficult to peel,[2] unless boiled before peeling.

Pink Fir Apple potato was first imported to the United Kingdom from France in 1850,[3][4] and in 1996 was crossed with the Désirée variety to form the Anya potato for Sainsbury's supermarkets.[5][6]

Characteristics

It grows to about 1.2 m (3 ft 11 in) in height.[2] Its blooms, which are single form, normally with five petals, are about 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter at full maturity and are coloured blue-violet, mauve taupe and light pastel purple.
