    Hi all, I'm after some help...again...
    Theres a potato I'm thinking of, I'd like to grow next year, its kidney shaped, smallish quite yellow, with a clean waxy skin..

      nope, thanks for trying though, it was a salad, or an early, small but long, and more yellow than those, unless i was dreaming!?

        Yukon Gold?
        Duke of York?
        Think Belle de Fontenay is yellowish - is Tattieman on - he's your potato man!

            Try Tattieman, he's your best bet. I'll have a look through my book. Is it an old variety or a fairly recent addition?

              TBH I have absolutely no idea, I just remember eating them as a child...and/or growing them in bags.

                  Thats close, right sort of size, just a bit more bend, and very very few eyes, almost totally smooth, really nice crushed with a little butter over them..

                    I've got one called Catriona in the book which I don't know of personally. Vanessa is also described as long and yellow. Should add it has red skin.

                            Something like this.



                            I should add these are a first early that have been harvested late and are therefore much bigger than would normally be the case.
