Sassy is a maincrop potato variety with oval, white-skinned tubers and attractive red-violet flowers. It is noted for its good resistance to powdery scab, blackleg, and skin spot, along with strong resistance to PCN Ro1 and partial resistance to Pa 2/3, 1. With medium-height plants and decent resistance to physical damage, it's a solid choice for growers seeking a reliable, disease-tolerant variety.
