High yielding with great disease resistance, Premiere seed potatoes are a popular variety that have a wide range of uses in the kitchen; although well known for making great chips, Premiere potatoes are also perfect for roasting and baking.

Premiere tubers are oval shaped, with a light yellow flesh and cream skin. They are known to be resistant not only to blight, but also common scab, powdery scab and spraing, making them a great 'grow your own' choice for many gardeners.

Key Information:

• Oval shaped tubers
• Yellow skin with a light yellow flesh
• High all round disease resistance
• Can be grown in allotments, containers or in raised beds

Advice & Tips:

• Dig over the area you wish to plant your potatoes, removing any weeds.
• Create shallow ridges in the ground approximately 60cm apart, planting the seed potatoes into the ridge approximately 12cm deep and 22cm apart.
• When the plants have grown to approximately 20cm in height, draw soil up around the lower leaves to protect the newly forming potatoes
• For an earlier harvest, potatoes can be chitted before planting - to do this, place the seed potatoes into an open container, such as an egg box, and leave in a light and airy position, protected from frost, to allow the potatoes to grow small shoots. Be careful not to damage the chits when planting into the ground.
