Red La Soda

Red La Soda is a red, main season potato cultivar.

It is a deep red mutant of the potato variety 'La Soda'.

The non-mutant form was developed by the Louisiana potato breeding program in 1948 as a cross between 'Triumph' and 'Katahdin'.

The mutant form was first observed in 1949 but was not released until 1953 by the United States Department of Agriculture, (USDA) and the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station.
