Tornado

Early cycle
Parents: (Druid x Kondor)

Produces a high number of uniformly sized tubers, with very high yields. Has an intense red skin colour. An excellent variety for the fresh market. Very good flavour and quality for home frying. Due to its high tuber set, it is recommended to plant with slightly wider spacing than usual to achieve good sizes.

1st in the Raw Ranking at the 15th Island Potato Tasting of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria 2024.
