Huayro Potato

Huayro potatoes are medium to large in size and are oblong and cylindrical in shape with a few lumpy bumps, creating a variable appearance. The thin skin is semi-smooth with a few medium-set eyes and has a light brown to tan base, covered in light red to rose-colored blush. Underneath the skin, the flesh is firm, dense, smooth, and light yellow, sometimes coated in a green tinge. When cooked, Huayro potatoes have a soft, floury, and sandy texture with a mild, neutral, and earthy flavor.
