Jazzy Seed Potatoes (Salad)
£4.99
(10 Tubers)A fantastic yield of salad potatoes
We really love this variety for salad potatoes as they tend to come up quite small (perfect salad size!) They are usually ready to harvest in July, and have light, creamy skin and good texture. One of the benefits is that they will stand quite well in the soil for several weeks, so you needn’t harvest them all at once unless you have a problem with slugs/blight (in which case you can just dig them all up when ready and store in a hessian sack or similar). All in all, a really good choice if you love potato salads.
Number of tubers (seed potatoes): 10
Variety: Jazzy
In the kitchen: Great for salads
Delivery: We start shipping seed potatoes in February

Kestrel Seed Potatoes (Second Early)
£4.99
(10 Tubers)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

Paris Seed Potatoes (Second Early)

Paris usually produces a good yield of waxy, oval/round shaped potatoes with a smooth skin and creamy light yellow flesh. It tends to produce perfectly formed potatoes, all of a similar size, that are great for cooking up in all sorts of ways – roasted, in mash and as salad potatoes. It is a second early variety with reasonably good resistance to disease. Potatoes will grow best in fertile, well-dug over soil with good drainage.
Number of tubers (seed potatoes): 10
Variety: Paris
In the kitchen: Great for baking, mashing, roasting, frying – will also work really well as a salad potato.

Maris Peer Seed Potatoes (Second Early)
£4.99
(10 Tubers)A trusted favourite & good for planting late…
This amazingly popular variety produces reliably regular round shaped and medium sized potatoes. They will normally be ready to harvest in July, and since the texture remains firm they are particularly well suited to boiling. One of the things we like about them is that you can choose to plant them a bit later in the year for a Christmas crop – if you’d like to do this, store the seed potatoes in a dry paper sack (with a few holes for air circulation) in a cool, dark place and plant them in July. Otherwise, pop them in the ground in March/April after chitting and harvest in July.Number of tubers (seed potatoes): 10
Variety: Maris Peer
In the kitchen: This variety has many uses including boiling for salads, steaming and chipping.
