The Ratte (also known as La Ratte, Ratte de Touquet, or Asparges) is a small fingerling type potato with a unique nutty flavor and smooth, buttery texture. The variety originated in France or Denmark in the late 19th century and is a favorite of French chefs and works great for roasting and boiling. It has been in NZ since the days of the early pakeha settlers.
