Shetland Black Potatoes to Eat

See tab below for details

This variety is part of our Washed Potatoes to Eat range and will be dispatched immediately – we will only have certain varieties available at certain times. Order by 8am for 48 hour delivery. Orders after 8am will be dispatched the following day. See tab below for further information. We have recipes for you to try and we would love to see your creations on our social media.
If you would like to order both seed potatoes and potatoes to eat to arrive at different times, you MUST do two separate orders.
Long and oval in shape, this heritage variety is deceptively named – the flesh is yellow, with a deep blue ring making interesting cooking opportunities. Around since at least the early 1920s when it was added to the Victorian collection. Very tasty and fluffy, they fry well and make creative sautéed potatoes, crisps and chips. It’s best to cook them with the skin on to keep the blue coloured ring.
We have a fabulous recipe by Wendy Barrie using Shetland Black.

Your Potatoes to Eat will be sent on a 48 hour courier. However, we work quite rurally and we have an early pick up. We need to have orders in the day beforeto be able to get the order together before our courier arrives. Orders received in the morning will not be dispatched until the following working day. We cannot delay delivery due to storage, so please put in ASAP at checkout.
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.
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”. 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.
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!
Mixed order of seed potatoes and Potatoes to eat is welcome, as long as they are to be dispatched immediately (note seed potatoes will not be ready until mid-December).
If you would like to order both seed potatoes and potatoes to eat to arrive at different times, please do two separate orders.
Wholesale welcome - please contact us.

For orders:
up to 2kg we use Royal Mail
2-10 kg we use Hermes / Evri
10 kg+ Parcel Force
The vast majority of our parcels arrive at their destination on time and intact, which is of no consolation when there are issues. It is as frustrating for us as it is for our customers when delays happen as we work hard to get our orders out in a timely manner.
Changing courier companies is not as easy as it sounds – we are “rurally challenged” – changing courier companies is not very easy when the courier depots are 15 miles away, necessitating a round trip of an hour and a half (meaning staff time away from other jobs – i.e. packing other orders – and the expense of vehicle, fuel and parking). Hermes/Evri offers a pickup service to us. We have to have a courier company that will deliver to Shetland, Cornwall and everywhere in-between. Changing companies would result in an overall slower and more expensive service to the majority of our customers. Different people in different areas of the country will state that X company is the worst.
If there is a known problem with delivery in your area, please contact us BEFORE you place your order and we will see if we can work something out.
If a parcel goes missing we will get another one out to you immediately – we have to wait for 28 days to make our claim.

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.

The Potatoes to Eat range will change throughout the season. Please join our newsletter for up-to-date information or bookmark this page and check back for updates. Although we grow over 90 varieties this is mainly for seed potatoes and not all our varieties will be available in our To Eat range. Let us know what you would like to see in this range - we welcome your feedback on this new venture.
We aim to have potatoes 9 months of the year for you and are looking to extend this for next season
If a variety has COMING SOON we intend on having this for you in this season. We have to plan storage and washing facilities and can't give a certain date until a few days before we have it for you. We will have better plans in the future once we get into a routine.
If a product has DELAY TO REBAG on it, it means that we need to check stock, and wash 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.
If a product has SOLD OUT, it really does mean sold out.
