Hi there!
Question is in the title since the place I bought it from (local potatoes growers for decades) advertised it as a "late" potato but on the software I'm using it says early... and on a few sources online I read early-mid to mid-late. In my Seed-Savers book they don't write anything (for this one at least).
Thanks

The way to tell if a plant is early/mid/or late is to look at how many days to maturity.

According to the links below that potato is a late potato:

 Days To Maturity: 80 - 100 Days

Early-season potato varieties are planted first in spring and are ready to harvest in 60-80 days. Mid-season varieties mature in 80-100 days. Late-season potato varieties are ready to harvest in 100-130 days
