Our last GREAT potato for this season, a WINNER!

Post by muffin » Mon Nov 13, 2017 10:01 pm

Harvsted lots, put lots of seed potatoes away for next year, offering some NOW for sale...and as fresh eating potatoes the customers are very happy with them! We have grown these for a few years and really like them.

They are beauties, are they all yellow or does the red skin colour extend to the flesh?

Ooh, I love the look of those! What are they best used for? How does one order seed potatoes from you?

So Sorry, was working so haven't been here since I posted!
These are only coloured on the skin, the flesh is white.
They taste great no matter how you cook them - french fires are fabulous!
They usually keep very well, and a long time.
They are rare, not available in seed catalogues (so you can only buy from someone like me that is a specialty grower).

I do have some seed potatoes available for sale, but not tons and tons. Best to contact me privately.
