Plant the potatoes directly in the garden as soon as they have roots. Potatoes are a cool-season crop that should be planted before the frost season. Potatoes are also grown as a fall crop in milder regions.
Keep the weeds under control during this season. Weeds compete with plants for water, nutrients, and space. Control them by either using mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating or cultivating them often.
Harvest new potatoes as soon as the plants begin to flower as young potatoes or after 15 weeks since planting. Store them in a cool, dark, and dry place for a week at 65 – 70F.
These potatoes are best suited for applications like baking, steaming, frying, and mashing. They are an all-purpose variety that works well in different dishes – in soups, side dishes, or any other waxy potato recipe. German butterball potato holds its shape well when cooked
