Fothergills Seed Potato Pontiac 500g

Fothergills Seed Potato Pontiac (Red Pontiac)

A true classic in the veggie patch, Pontiac is a vigorous, high-yielding variety prized for its reliability and striking good looks. It produces large, round to oval tubers with smooth, vibrant red skin and crisp white flesh—making it a standout both in the ground and on the plate.

Pontiac is known for its strong growth and adaptability, performing well across a range of soil types and climates. It’s a favourite for home gardeners who want a dependable crop that delivers generous harvests with minimal fuss. Its robust nature also makes it a great choice for those new to growing potatoes.

In the kitchen, Pontiac is wonderfully versatile. It has a slightly waxy texture, so it holds together well when boiled—perfect for salads and whole potatoes—while still mashing nicely and roasting to a golden finish. A great all-rounder for everyday meals.

Tip: Because Pontiac is such a strong grower, make sure to hill the soil up around the plants as they develop. This not only boosts your yield but also protects those beautiful red tubers from turning green in the sun.
