Potato Annelise Blue (Maincrop Seed Potatoes)

A real speciality if you want to try something different! This blue variety has long tubers with almost black skin and a blue-purple flesh that really makes it stand out from the crowd. With a creamy texture and an almost nutty aroma, Annelise Blue is lovely boiled or steamed and used to brighten up a salad or its fluffy flesh is perfect mashed for something different. Try as a jacket potato - they are simply delicious! Potatoes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow. There's the nurturing process of chitting, planting and earthing-up, the anticipation of a good harvest as you dig through the soil and, of course, the unbeatable taste of fresh, home-grown, potatoes. All potatoes (except for maincrops) will benefit from chitting prior to planting out. The chitting process encourages the seed to sprout, which then when planted, helps them to establish more readily, leading to bigger crops. Simply place them, blunt end up, in an old egg box until the shoots are approximately 1 to ½cm (½ to 1in). Potatoes are delivered in 1kg bags, each pack containing approx. 8-14 tubers.
