OriginNorth Dakota, USA after 1957

Red Norland is a red, early-maturing potato.[1] Smaller tubers (B and C size) are commonly sold as “baby reds” and this variety is often served boiled or in potato salads.[1] The progenitor variety, 'Norland', was released by the North Dakota Agricultural College in 1957. Since the release of 'Norland', other darker red skinned variants were selected, most notably 'Red Norland' and 'Dark Red Norland'.[2] None of these three varieties is under plant variety protection. The darker red strains are now widely grown, and 'Norland' is rarely grown. 'Norland' and its selections are widely adapted, but have relatively low to intermediate yields.
