The skin is buff in color and has a tendency to form a light, flaky net. Tubers are set deep on short stolons and separate readily from the vines at early harvest dates. Tuber dormancy is similar to that of Irish Cobbler and shorter than Atlantic. Superior is the primary early fresh market variety in those areas shipping directly to market from the field. Yield potential is moderately high with minimum skinning due to harvesting and grading.
Tubers are susceptible to pressure bruise in long-term storage, particularly in bulk piles.
