A Marfona is a potato cultivar with a moderately waxy texture. It originated in the Netherlands in 1975. [1] It has a light brown or yellow skin and a yellow to cream flesh, [2] and is a high yielding Second Early variety. [3]

Due to the potato having a strong flavour it is very good for use as baking, boiling and mashing. [2]
