Delivery Information
We had a 98% success rate for our popular FREE delayed delivery service last year. Potatoes arrive in perfect condition when you want them as they have been kept in cold storage.

We will dispatch Seed Potatoes and accessories on a week to suit you in the Spring at no extra charge.

Prices include UK delivery with very few exceptions.

Orders will be dispatched within 4 days then will take 4-5 days to get to you. But this can be longer especially if we have any industrial action.

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.  Seed Potatoes are a natural product and will deteriorate if not stored correctly.

For the vast majority of orders, we do not charge a surcharge for Scottish Highlands and Islands and other remote areas.  However, we reserve the right to contact you if we can't get a viable rate. Unfortunately, for large or extremely remote orders, it is likely that we will need to pass on some haulage charge.  Please see FAQ for full details

For Isle of Man and the Channel Islands please see FAQ for details.

If you wish to pick up we offer a 15% discount.  By default, this option will only appear for local postcodes.  If yours doesn’t appear, use our postcode DD3 0QN in the “Deliver to Address”.  You need to select local pick up and also put code Pickup in the coupon box.  Also to help us, put “pick up” in the “deliver to address”.  Note that your order may still take a day or two to organise and we will contact you when your order is ready. We operate on a working farm with machinery, vehicles and livestock and so please keep children and pets inside your car when picking up. This is only available for orders up to £50 – if you wish to pick up a larger order, please contact us prior to ordering.

Free Uk Delivery of Seed Potatoes

 If we get a parcel returned to us due to wrong details we will charge you postage to re-send.  Please check the details on your confirmation note and inform us immediately of any mistakes.  Small typos are easy to do!

All products ordered will be sent together in the same delivery. If you require us to split the delivery YOU MUST do two orders. Bulk discounts are only available for the same order.  A mixed order for Seed Potatoes and Potatoes to Eat is welcome as long as they are to be dispatched immediately.

During times of frost or low temperatures deliveries will be held back until more favourable conditions prevail and we will inform customers of any delays over social media and on our website. Some deliveries may be delayed if we have to re- stock our nets.

See our FAQ page for more information on payment, discounts and delivery dates and our Terms and Conditions regarding refunds

Growing Main Crop

Potato House Early Main Crop Seed Potatoes Potato House Main Crop Seed Potatoes

  • Chitting is simply waking the seed potato up after its winter dormancy ready to grow. We have a great video on How to Chit potatoes
  • It is definitely a good idea to chit, but to do this you need to get your seed nice and early – maybe January or February if you are in the South of England and March or April if you are in North of Scotland. The aim is to have your potatoes come through the ground after the last frost in your area as the new plant is susceptible to frost.
  • Chitted seed will be ready to grow much quicker once Spring arrives and the soil warms up. Chitted seed should come through the ground in about 2 weeks.
  • If you buy your seed in April or May, however, then there is little or no advantage in chitting since the soil temperature will be ok for planting, though the unchitted seed will take c4 weeks to come through the ground.
  • Remove the seed potatoes from the net as soon as you receive them (as the shoots will grow through the nets and can break if you try to remove them) and put them in an egg carton in a sunny window sill. The shoots will start to sprout and when they are around an inch long they will be ready to plant.
  • Early Main Crop and Main Crop take around 15 – 22 week respectively to mature. Main crops can be planted till around mid May depending on where you are in the UK
  • There is a common myth that you can cut the tuber up to give a better yield. We do not advise this. Tubers have enough stored energy to get to the surface and produce a healthy crop. By cutting they you are risking the tuber going mouldy as it has no skin to protect it and lower yields.
  • Potatoes like to be watered but not water-logged and so ensure your pot or area has good drainage.
  • Potatoes need a sunny site away from frost pockets - the newly emerging foliage is susceptible to frost damage in April and May.
  • The traditional planting method is to dig a narrow trench 12cm (5in) deep. The seed tubers are spaced 37cm (15in) for maincrop varieties in rows 75cm (30in) apart. Apply a general purpose fertiliser at this stage. When the emerging shoots come through, you need to "earth" or "mound" them up - this is counter intuitive. Do this several times. This encourages downward growth - the new tubers will jostle for space and any growing near the surface will turn green.
  • Small crops of potatoes can also be grown in large, deep containers, and this is a good way of getting an early batch of new potatoes. Fill the bottom 15cm (6in) of the container with potting compost and plant the seed potato just below this. As the new stems start growing, keep adding compost until the container is full.
  • With maincrops for storage wait until the foliage turns yellow, then cut it and remove it. Leave for 10 days before harvesting the tubers - this allows the skin to set, leaving them to dry for a few hours before storing.

See our FAQ page for more information on the differences in crop varieties and common problems

Ark Of Taste

The Slow Food Ark of Taste

The Ark of Taste is a key international project of the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity. It aims to catalogue and promote quality products from around the world that are rooted in culture, history and tradition and that are in danger of disappearing. We are proud to have these potatoes in our repertoire and are working with the Ark of Taste to have more of our varieties listed. To read more about this, see their page.

This project strives to draw attention to the products and the history behind them, inspiring people to take action to protect them.

Tuber size and appearance

There are huge variations in size within a net - this is normal. Seed Potatoes are a natural product. These pictures are representative of the nets we sell. 

Tuber size and appearance.

The size will vary depending on the variety and the overall harvest the previous year.

size of seed potatoes
Chitting different sizes
How to chit potatoes

🥔Seed Potatoes are generally much smaller than the eating equivalent.  Unless otherwise stated, we sell our potatoes as 35mm-55mm which is the industry standard across the UK. The legal limit for UK seed potatoes is 25mm.
🥔This does not mean that the tuber is 35mmx55mm This means that when the potato is graded, it will fall through a 55mm square, but not through a 35mm square.
🥔
Our 3-tuber and 6-tuber nets of potatoes are packed by number, not weight and there can be a variation on the size of the tubers in each net.
🥔Our 1kg nets are 1kg, but can also have variation in size of the tubers within that net. There is an average of 12-14 tubers in a 1kg net. But this can vary depending on variety and the harvest.  The number could be as low as 8 or as high as 16.  Our netting machine picks the potatoes to get the weight right.  
🥔We could supply only the mid sized tubers - but then if the larger and smaller could not be sold we would need to charge double for the medium ones and this would generate huge waste.   This is especially true of our rare varieties.
🥔Pictures show the variation in size.  The bottom two are from delighted customers who uploaded these to our Facebook reviews. Every tuber here produced a great yield.
🥔Customers' expectations of what size a seed potato should be can be very different. Some customer like large potatoes to cut and others like the smallest possible tubers.  We have 90 different varieties in 4 different net sizes and do not do any further grading due to the work involved and the storage space in our store.   If we did do further grading, the price would go up for all our customers.

We have a few award-winning bloggers working with us, who take pics of their chitting potatoes and the different sizes.  Rob Smith is a writer for many gardening magazines, and his pictures on his facebook page clearly show different sizes of potatoes from the same net. 

🥔 Last year and this year we are trialling selling much smaller potatoes and these will be very clearly marked and sold in 450g nets to avoid confusion. We are offering these to you as a trial - by having a market for these potatoes which are smaller than our usual and being able to sell at a reduced price means that we can keep our prices low overall. These will be offered, if available when we have sold out of our standard potatoes. They are still within the size limits allowed to be sold as seed potatoes (25mm min shortest edge) and will give a good crop. There are around 12 in a 450g bag and we would suggest planting two of these as one. The 450g nets are included in the 6 tuber net and 1kg bulk deals. Your feedback is most welcome whether you buy or not, please let us know.

🥔The expectation that a seed potato will be 100% perfect is not what reality is, although this expectation will be met 75% of the time.

The pictures on our web are of tubers that have been freshly harvested and washed. This is to show what they will look like when you harvest and wash your potatoes. When your seed potatoes arrive, they will be dirty, some bright colours may have faded, and they may have some mechanical scuff marks and scab. These are within the permitted levels to be sold. See FAQ for more details.

We abide by the rules set in The Seed Potatoes (Scotland) Regulations 2015

Seed Potatoes Stock Information

Here at Potato House, we net and bag up most of our seed potatoes.   If a variety is out of stock this could be temporary or indeed we could well be out of stock for the season.  There could be a delay from our store to the web as we communicate this information.  

We have four different stock message labels on our seed potatoes.  These will vary as the season progresses. 

If a product has COMING SOON it means we are still assessing quality/quantity from our harvest, or that we are in the process of buying this variety from our trusted growers.  We are 99% sure that this variety will be for sale before Christmas, but it isn't listed until we know that it has passed all relevant inspections.

If a product has DELAY TO REBAG on it, it means that we need to check stock and re-bag if we still have some left.  This is not a guarantee that we do have more in stock.  We have to check. In some circumstances a variety can go back on for sale - it will depend on the final bagging up for customers over the next few weeks. If you go on the stock alert you will be notified either later in this season, or for next season. 

If a product has SOLD OUT, it really does mean sold out. Please go on the stock alert for the following year and we will let you know when we have it for sale again.

If a product has UNAVAILABLE it means that we have had this variety in recent years but are not able to supply it for this season.  We simply do not have the room to grow every variety each year and so if you are looking for a variety that you bought from us before and we now don’t stock it, we may grow it again in the future.  We also have been affected by Brexit as we are now prohibited to sell seed Potatoes to EU AND NI.  We sold 40% of our harvest to EU and some varieties are sadly now unviable without this market.  Occasionally there is a crop failure.  

If a PACK SIZE has sold out (eg there are 6 tuber nets available, but no 1 kg nets) this will be getting rebagged, if we have more of that variety left.

Potato House grows around 90 varieties and some are in small quantities and sell out quickly.  We leave these products on our web and if you are looking for a particular variety, we invite you to sign up for the stock alert found on each variety or to join our mailing list.  When we harvest in the autumn and know quantities we then will open our web up for pre-orders and let our mailing list know about this. 

Some varieties are grown to order for customers and we will have most of the crop sold but will perhaps have some available once we do the final bagging for our customers therefore new varieties may sometimes appear mid-season.

2 reviews for Highland Burgundy Red Seed Potatoes

  1. Daniel Baines (verified owner) – 15th April 2022

    Rated 5 out of 5

    Highland Burgundy is one of my all time favourites. It goes a very deep blood red.
    When you cook it, it actually gets redder. Young potatoes are reddest, and most delicious. But the mature tubers can also be blood red all the way through, with the white outer ring being almost imperceptible. The taste is good. Not as strong as some potatoes. Its a more subtle, delicate flavour. Very earthy. Where Highland Burgundy really excels in the eating, is its texture. Its the softest potato I know. It almost melts itself when its cooked, like butter. Make it into mashed potato with butter, and you’re looking at a very creamy dish indeed. Or very fluffy, deep red, delicate tasting roasties.
    The drawback to Highland Burgundy, is there’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you don’t grow it in perfect potato conditions, then it won’t produce. Its infamously low yielding. I’ve found that if you grow it with too many nutrients, it doesn’t go red! If you grow it too wet, it goes so scabby the tubers are entirely scabbed all over. Grow it with not enough nutrients, and a bizarre thing happens… a mini potato will appear at the base of the leaf branches, and a shoot will come out of it. Looke like a potato tree. Basically, you’ve GOT to get this one just right. Very loose, fluffy, but very well draining soil, with not too much manure. But some manure. Never known a pickier one. Also, it grows more like a weedy vine than a potato plant. Hard to get any light to them, if you grow them next to anything else tall.
    But if you get it right, boy are you in for a treat. Its worth it. The eating is superb.
