The Adirondack varieties are unusual because both the skin and the flesh are colored and have high levels of anti-oxidants.[1] They are described as "Early- to mid-season, medium- to high-yielding variety. Dark green decumbent to spreading vines bear oblong to long, slightly flattened, purplish-red-skinned tubers with shallow eyes and pink to red flesh."[2]
Adirondack Red was found to be susceptible to silver scurf disease, as well as the golden cyst nematode. It was also found to have moderate resistance to common scab.[3]
