If you want a specific week, let us know at checkout box. We recommend that you get your potatoes in plenty of time to chit. If you plan to plant in March, we would suggest delivery in late January/February to give 4-6 weeks chitting, if you plan to plant in April, a late February/March date would suit. OVER 98% success rate last year!
Do not ask for delivery too early 4-6 weeks before planting is best.
After delivery it is YOUR responsibility to store the seed potatoes in the correct manner. We have a FREE DELAYED DELIVERY service for our customers and STRONGLY recommend that you if you do not have the correct conditions to store the seed potatoes it would be better to ask for delivery 4-6 weeks before you intend to plant.

My Great Uncle grew acres of these on his Ulster farm, right up until his death in the early 1980’s. They will always be my favourite spud and are delicious, but if boilingl them keep the skins on or you might end up with potato soup. Excellent for roasting and I plant them every year in my small garden.

A wonderful, wonderful potato. I grow far too many varieties, and I’m always trying to quit some. These are usually top of the quitting list, because they’re a simple white potato. The skins lose colour in cooking too. You can also get them in mainstream seed shops sometimes. They ‘shouldn’t’ be anything special. But then you taste them, and you realize how privileged you are to be eating them. They taste so good! And the texture is always so perfect! They’re so fluffy and light inside when you roast them to a crisp. I made mash with them another time, with cream and cheese. And the potato flavour really stood out. So special. The mash it made was fluffy, not goopy or watery. The best way to describe the flavour is ‘fresh.’ Every time I eat them, it reminds me that I can’t ever do away with growing them. They certainly belong in Ark of Taste.
They grow well. They give a massive harvest if you give them enough room to grow in. Of all varieties I grow, only Sarpos seem to give me more yield.
I’d say their only drawback, is they could have more blight resistance. But they aren’t terrible for it. The first time I grew them they were in too small a pot, and I think it weakened them. The tubers blighted. But ever since I got a field, they’ve been fine. Really robust growth.

Grew these last year (2020) from Potato House. Got an excellent crop, taste lovely and have stored well. Ordering again this year.

Having grown these regularly over the years, this is the only variety that I will use for mash – I’ve yet to find anything to match it for texture and flavour. Their bright purple skins are very easy to see against the earth too – so I never leave many of these behind.
