Nofy Potato Supplier

Quick Overview

Nofy is an innovative potato variety prized for its exceptional versatility and reliable performance across various culinary applications. This medium-starch potato features a perfect balance between waxy and floury textures, making it suitable for both fresh market use and light processing. The tubers are consistently round to oval with smooth, yellow skin and creamy yellow flesh that maintains its appealing appearance after cooking. Developed to meet modern agricultural challenges, Nofy shows remarkable resistance to common diseases while maintaining high yields under diverse growing conditions. Its excellent flavor profile and adaptable texture have made it increasingly popular among commercial growers, food processors, and home cooks seeking a dependable all-purpose potato.

Origin & History

Nofy was developed through extensive breeding programs in the Netherlands during the early 2010s, aiming to create a versatile variety that could bridge the gap between processing and table potatoes. Breeders crossed traditional European cultivars with select South American varieties to enhance its disease resistance and climate adaptability. The variety underwent rigorous testing across multiple European countries before its commercial release around 2015. Its name “Nofy” reflects its innovative qualities (derived from “innovation”) in potato breeding. Since its introduction, Nofy has gained steady popularity in both Western European markets and select export regions due to its reliable performance and culinary flexibility.

Specifications

Nofy potatoes typically contain 14-17% starch content, placing them in the medium-starch category that works well for most cooking methods. The tubers are medium-sized, averaging 100-180 grams, with a uniform round to slightly oval shape that ensures excellent processing efficiency. The skin is smooth and thin with a light yellow color, while the flesh maintains a consistent creamy yellow hue that doesn’t darken significantly after cooking. Nofy has a relatively short to medium growing season (85-105 days), allowing for flexible planting schedules. The variety demonstrates good resistance to common scab and moderate tolerance to late blight, though it requires proper crop rotation for optimal yield performance.

Key Characteristics

1. Balanced Texture: The ideal medium-starch content provides enough structure for boiling while still being fluffy when baked or mashed.
2. Exceptional Flavor: Nofy offers a clean, slightly sweet potato taste that enhances dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
3. Visual Appeal: The smooth, blemish-free skin and consistent flesh color make it attractive for fresh market sales.
4. Growth Reliability: Performs well across various soil types and shows good tolerance to fluctuating weather conditions.
5. Cooking Versatility: Maintains its shape well when boiled yet becomes tender when roasted, making it truly multi-purpose.

Best Uses

Nofy is best classified as an all-around table potato that excels in nearly every culinary application except specialized processing. It performs wonderfully when boiled for salads or stews, as its medium-starch content helps it hold shape while absorbing flavors beautifully. The variety roasts exceptionally well, developing a golden crust while remaining creamy inside, and makes excellent mashed potatoes with just the right texture. While not ideal for industrial-scale chip production due to its moderate starch levels, Nofy works perfectly for homemade chips or rustic-style potato dishes. Some food processors use it for premium prepared meals where potato appearance and texture retention are crucial. Essentially, Nofy is the perfect choice when you need one potato variety that can competently handle nearly any cooking method.
