A study of the Buguias Seed Farm of the Baguio Research Development Center [Philippines] was conducted to identify new and promising potato lines/varieties suited for cultivation in the highlands and determine the qualities of potato lines/varieties for processing. Of the 15 varieties/lines tested, four varieties, namely, Caesar, Donald, Signal, and Remarka were recommended for commercial production in the highlands for both table and processing types. For five cropping seasons, higher yields were observed from Signal, Remarka, Caesar, and Donald with yield means ranging from 17 to 29.83 t/ha. Signal had the highest dry matter content of 23.66% comparable with that of Caesar, Donald, and Remarka. The dry matter content of these varieties/lines were within the range suitable for processing chips of fries. Chips from these varieties has light yellow color after frying due to low sugar content. They had firm texture, were very crispy, and very acceptable in terms of flavor. At an estimated farm gate price of P15/kg, Signal gave a gross income of P447,450 and net income of P301,860 on a per hectare basis. Further evaluation on the utilization and adoption of the four varieties/lines in other regions, growing seasons and locations are recommended
