Kestrel Seed Potatoes (Second Early)

Good taste, and good slug resistance

Kestrel is a great looking potato, but its real qualities come in the form of flavour and slug-resistance. It is a particularly good choice for those with heavy, clay-type soils. With fun purple and white patchy skin, and very versatile in the kitchen, this is definitely one of our favourites. Be aware, it doesn’t do brilliantly if the soil dries out, so if you live in a drier part of the country or have sandy soil, you’ll need to water frequently (or go for a different variety!) Usually ready to harvest in July.

Number of tubers (seed potatoes): 10

Variety: Kestrel

In the kitchen: Great for boiling, mash, chips, roast
