  • Potato Day 2019 Varieties * = Organic, # = Black Isle / Locally Grown, (Year Introduced, Parent X Parent)
    Potato Day 2019 Varieties * = Organic, # = Black Isle / locally grown, (year introduced, parent x parent) Please note: last year was a bad year for potato growers, so if we don’t have a variety that you would like, please try something different – you might find you like it! There are over 70 varieties to choose from. First Earlies Accord High yielding, disease resistant, good for salad or grown on for baking. Tasty. Arran Pilot (1930, May Queen x Pepo) Very good, tasty, new potato; widely grown and popular. Highly resistant to scab, susceptible to drought. Casablanca * (2009, 85G040-080 x Picasso) The "new Maris Bard", white with shallow eyes, good for chipping, baking, boiling. Very early. Colleen * (1993, Manna x Mizen) Good multipurpose potato, high yielding; waxy, yet mealy, pale yellow. Boils and fries well. Reasonable blight resistance. Duke of York (1891, Early Primrose x King Kidney) Red Duke of York (1942, Duke of York variant) Floury and excellent flavour, but a big disadvantage: very susceptible to blight on both leaves and tubers. Red skin / pink skin / yellow skin, pale yellow flesh, oval shape. Best fried, roasted, mashed or baked; boil carefully. Epicure (1897?, Magnum Bonum x Early Regent) Round, deep eyed, white, fairly floury, flesh. Reputed to withstand leaf frost damage better than most. Foremost (1954, Katahdin x (Epicure x Pepo) ) A gardeners' favourite, round oval, easy scrubbing, tasty. More floury than most, good baker if allowed to grow. Maris Bard * (1972, Y15 139 x Ulster Prince) Early, high yielding, oval, waxy, white. Traditional earthy taste, good new potato, more general purpose if left to mature.
