Potato Setanta (Maincrop Seed Potato)

One of the most blight resistant potatoes available in the UK! Add excellent scab, slug and drought resistance, combine it with great taste and versatility and you've got all the makings of an excellent all-round potato to grow at home. A red skinned variety with a dry, fluffy texture making it ideal for mash, roasts and chips and with deliciously crispy skins and a buttery taste, Setanta will make the perfect baker too! It stores well so can be enjoyed for many months after harvest. 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.
