Yukon Gold gets its name with its delicious yellow flesh and the outer golden-brown skin which is thin, free of eyes and easy to peel. The firm, yellow flesh keeps its color when steamed, boiled, baked, fried, mashed, roasted or any way you cook them. Plant potatoes in well-drained, deep, loose fertile soil and water them regularly. Every three inches the plant grows, mound more soil around the sides of the plant, this protects tubers from sunlight which can cause them to turn green and become toxic. Stop adding soil when flowers appear. Potatoes are ready to harvest when top of the plants have died off. Harvest carefully by hand, brush off soil, but do not wash until ready to use, it shortens their storage life. Store in a cool dry place
