The tuber is round, with white skin and yellow flesh. The texture is described as "floury".[1] HistoryDuring the late 19th century, the Champion dominated the Irish potato industry, due largely to its resistance to the blight strain prominent during the 1879 epidemic. The variety grew from a planting of 220,934 acres (27 percent of the total Irish potato crop) in 1880 to a planting of 717,000 acres (80 percent of the crop) in 1894. After 1894, other varieties, including Kerr's Pink and Arran Banner, came to prominence, and the Champion declined in importance.[2] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.xsdnet.com/seedsavers/cgi-bin/db.cgi?id=40&type=page |title=Potato Seed Catalogue 2005 |first1=Frank |last1=Bouchier |first2=Stephen |last2=Marsh |publisher=Irish Seed Saver Association |accessdate=16 June 2012 |archive-url=https://archive.is/20121216154617/http://www.xsdnet.com/seedsavers/cgi-bin/db.cgi?id=40&type=page# |archive-date=2012-12-16 |dead-url=yes |df= }} {{Potato cultivars}}{{potato-stub}}2. ^/Potato Varieties of Historical Interest in Ireland Irish Government website Retrieved 2012-06-04 1 : Potato cultivars |
