Twinner Potato Supplier

Quick Overview

Twinner is a premium, high-quality potato variety prized for its excellent cooking characteristics and reliable yields. This versatile potato features a perfect balance between waxy and floury textures, making it suitable for multiple culinary applications. The tubers are medium to large in size with an attractive oval shape and smooth, yellow skin that requires minimal peeling. Twinner maintains its shape well during cooking while offering a delicate, buttery flavor that enhances various dishes. Its adaptability to different growing conditions and resistance to common diseases make it a favorite among both commercial growers and home gardeners. The variety consistently produces uniform, high-grade potatoes that meet strict market standards for appearance and taste.

Origin & History

Twinner was developed through extensive breeding programs in the Netherlands during the late 1990s to create a superior all-purpose potato. Breeders crossed several European varieties to achieve optimal texture, flavor and disease resistance characteristics. It was officially introduced to the market in the early 2000s and quickly gained popularity across Western Europe. The variety was specifically designed to perform well in both conventional and organic farming systems. Over the past two decades, Twinner has become established as a reliable choice for farmers seeking consistent quality and yields. Its name reflects the “twin” benefits it offers – excellent table qualities and good processing potential.

Specifications

Twinner potatoes typically contain 14-17% starch content, placing them in the medium-starch category ideal for versatile use. The tubers average 100-180 grams in weight with a uniform, slightly oblong shape that ensures excellent processing efficiency. They feature smooth, yellow skin with shallow eyes and bright yellow flesh that retains its color after cooking. This variety requires 90-110 days to reach full maturity and performs best in temperate climates with well-drained soils. Twinner demonstrates good resistance to common scab and moderate resistance to late blight, though it requires proper crop rotation for optimal results. The plants show vigorous growth with good drought tolerance once established.

Key Characteristics

1. Balanced Texture: The perfect medium-starch content provides just enough firmness for boiling while allowing for creamy mashed potatoes.
2. Superior Flavor Profile: Naturally buttery taste with subtle earthy notes that enhance dishes without overpowering other ingredients.
3. Excellent Culinary Performance: Maintains structural integrity when cooked while absorbing flavors beautifully in stews and roasts.
4. Disease Resistance Package: Demonstrates strong field resistance to major potato pathogens, reducing need for chemical treatments.
5. Market-Friendly Attributes: Attractive appearance with consistent size and shape that meets retailer specifications for premium potatoes.

Best Uses

Twinner is best classified as an all-around table potato that excels in nearly every cooking method except perhaps for specialty chips. Its medium starch content makes it perfect for boiling, steaming, and using in potato salads where shape retention is crucial. The variety produces excellent roasted potatoes with a crispy exterior and creamy interior when oven-baked. While not specifically bred for frying, it can be used successfully for homemade chips and fries with proper preparation. Many professional chefs appreciate Twinner for its ability to make smooth, lump-free mashed potatoes without becoming gluey. Its versatility makes it ideal for household use, food service applications, and premium fresh markets rather than industrial processing.
