Description

A tasty variety with distinctive red skin.
Produces heavy crops, even in dry seasons.
Popular grower's choice due to its larger, longer and oval shape.

Much-loved by home growers and cooks alike for its melt-in-the-mouth main-crop red potato with contrasting yellow flesh.

The perfect choice for mash, 'Desiree' is also well known for it red skins that crisp up beautifully when baked.

Stores well in cool, dry conditions so you have an ample supply of this popular potato over the winter.

Showing resistance to powdery scab, you can expect heavy crops of quality, blemish free potatoes even in a drier climate.

It does so well in most soils, produces a good harvest whilst tasting delicious, making it hard to beat.

All our seed potatoes are graded to a size 35mm x 35mm to 55mm x 55mm. This means that the smallest seed potatoes in the sample will not fall through an 35mm square. This does mean there will be various sizes within the pack. More modern varieties are more equal in size but as we want to offer the more unusual and Heritage varieties, these are more variable but we will always supply the weight stated. Any harvest will depend on individual growing conditions but generally smaller potatoes will produce smaller crops and larger potatoes will produce larger crops. But for example 1kg of seed potatoes will produce the same overall harvest whether the seed potatoes are small or large.
