The Amandine potato is a cultivar of early potato, descended from the varieties Charlotte and Mariana. First bred in Brittany, France in the early 1990s, it entered the French national list of potato varieties in 1994. Amandine shaws typically produce long tubers with very pale, unblemished skin. Their flesh, firm and also very pale, contains comparatively little starch. Amandine potatoes have become popular in Switzerland.
