Qeqorani potatoes are small in size and are globular to oblong in shape. The semi-smooth skin is tan to light brown and is covered in many deep-set eyes which create a bumpy, knobbed appearance. Underneath the thin skin, the flesh has a cream-colored to yellow base and is marbled with rich, deep purple hues.
The flesh is also dense, floury, and dry. When cooked, Qeqorani potatoes develop a soft and fluffy texture with a mildly nutty, earthy taste. Qeqorani potatoes are a versatile variety that is well-suited for baking, frying, mashing, and boiling.
Its unique coloring may fade with cooking, but when sliced the tuber can be roasted into chips or cooked into French fries. Qeqorani potatoes are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamin C, iron, and fiber. They also contain magnesium, potassium, and zinc.
