'Irish Cobbler'. Cultivated for more than a century, this variety is still enjoyed by home gardeners who want an early harvest of a good multipurpose potato. 'Irish Cobbler' has fairly deep eyes, which can make peeling a bit of a chore, so some gardeners prefer 'Kennebec', which is a bit later but has larger tubers and shallower eyes.

'Irish Cobbler' produces rounded, medium-sized tubers on medium-sized, upright to spreading plants with white-tipped, pale purple flowers.
