Almond potatoes

The almond potato (Norwegian: Mandelpotet, Swedish: Mandelpotatis) is a potato known since the 19th century. Almond potatoes are yellow or white; in rare cases a kind called blue almond can be found which is yellow-white with some colour changes in blue. Its shape is oval and somewhat resembles an almond, hence the name.

It is considered a delicacy in Norway[1] and in Sweden, where it is most commonly grown in the northern parts.
