Organic Burbank Russet Seed Potato (lb)
Most Widely Grown Potato in the USA
Russet Burbank Seed Potatoes are a long-oval russet variety with shallow eyes and white flesh. Originating from the pioneering breeding work of Luther Burbank, this is the iconic potato that put Idaho on the map. It remains the most widely grown potato in the U.S., prized for its starchy texture and reliable performance.
This late-season variety is scab-resistant, long-storing, and ideal for baking, frying, or boiling. With uniform shape and dependable yields, it’s a favorite among home gardeners and commercial producers alike. For best results, ensure consistent moisture throughout the growing season to support even development and reduce the risk of cracking.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
