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.

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.

Not sure why everyone raves about this potato. At one time, it was the most cultivated potato in the USA. So certainly not a spcialist potato in any way. It is good, as it made a very, very amazing mash topping to a fish pie that we made. But that had some seasoning in it. By itself, I find this potato to be just average in taste. And a bit gluey in texture. A couple of times, I decided to try and make hash browns with it the traditional way, like I remembered eating in the USA. I failed miserably. Yukon Gold is a watery, gluey potato, so the hash browns didn’t crisp up, and the end result was likely to bung me up. I still give it 3 stars, because the mash is excellent, and there are ways of cooking it that it is suitable for. Its just very picky in how you can successfully use it.
I also find it to be pickier than some varieties to grow. Qutie susceptible to wireworm. And if you use too much manure, it won’t grow compared to varieties. Make sure its grown in ideal conditions. Loose, very well draining soil.
Its pickiness is why its declined in commercial cultivation in the USA. Its still grown due to its fame and customer demand, but if farmers can avoid it, they do.

Here’s my dilemma – to write a well deserved 5 * review so that everyone gets to know about how good Yukon Gold potatoes are or to keep quiet so that we get to have Yukon Golds all to ourselves!! These really are a fantastic potato – round in shape with a sandy looking blemish free skin, butter-coloured inside and a terrific taste. And The Potato House is great to deal with too (especially Amy) so you just can’t lose!
