Kipflers

Kipfler is a variety of potato known for its distinctive elongated, finger-like shape and waxy texture. It is believed to have originated in Germany and is popular in Australia and New Zealand. The skin of the Kipfler is typically thin and yellow, and the flesh is a pale yellow. These potatoes are a good source of potassium and vitamin C. Due to their firm texture, Kipflers hold their shape well when cooked, making them ideal for boiling, roasting, and salads. They are also a good choice for mashing, though they may require more butter or cream to achieve a smooth consistency compared to floury potato varieties. Kipflers are often described as having a nutty and slightly sweet flavor. Their waxy nature means they don't absorb much oil, making them suitable for various culinary applications. They are generally considered an early to mid-season potato variety, with harvests typically occurring in late summer or early autumn.
