Rainier Russet is a russet potato cultivar released in 2020. [1] It was developed at the Small Grains and Potato Germplasm Research Center in Aberdeen, Washington. The breeding parents of Rainier are Canela Russet and an Aberdeen breeding clone. [2] It has cold-sweetening resistance, so it can be processed directly out of storage into many frozen potato products. However, it is classified as a fresh market potato, indicating that it is primarily grown for direct consumption rather than for processing into potato products like chips or fries. [3]
