Know before you buy
Mini tubers are naturally bred and certified disease-free, which significantly reduces the risk of soil-borne pathogens often introduced by cutting larger potatoes. Because they are planted whole, they are less prone to rot and typically produce a more vigorous, uniform crop.
This is a late-season variety that requires 105 to 135 days to reach full maturity. You should plan your planting schedule to ensure they have enough time to develop before the first hard frost in your region.
Austrian Crescent potatoes thrive in slightly acidic soil with a pH between 5.2 and 6.0. They also require 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily and well-draining soil to prevent tuber rot.
Space your mini tubers 12 inches apart within the row, keeping rows 24 to 36 inches apart. Plant them at a depth of 4 to 6 inches to ensure proper tuber development and protection from sunlight.
For optimal results, use a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen and high in phosphorus. Excess nitrogen can encourage too much leafy foliage at the expense of tuber production.
These potatoes have a firm, waxy texture that holds its shape well during cooking. They are excellent for boiling in potato salads or roasting whole, as they stay intact and maintain a creamy consistency.
