  • Linzer potatoes?

    Its another 'what's my potato'!

    Just been to the local organic veg grower and this time bought a kg of Linzer. I've just had a google for the spud name and it seems there's lots of linzer types. However I'm guessing this is Linzer Delicatess - has anyone ever grown it before? Thought I might try it in pots as it seems to grow lots of smaller spuds.

    I grew it years ago. It's a lovely salad spud. Can't remember a lot about it - I was sent it when I'd ordered pink fir apple and they'd run out.

      Just eaten these - for saying its Feb, they were in very good condition. They tasted very nice indeed, waxy with a slightly sweet edge. Yummy!!!

        Linzer

        Hello - I'm a bit jealous that you have found these! Nothing so exotic appears in my local shops!

        Anyway, I think you've found a good one there, because St Jamie Oliver recomends this variety in his latest book. Thought you'd like to know.

        Good luck.

          Would you like to try 5 or 6 diddy-widdy ones? You could grow them in a pot - we're going to. PM if you'd like to swap or send an SAE (they're only about 70g).

            Yes please!

            That's an incredibly kind offer - thank you very much.

            Haven't ever done this sort of thing on this site before - how do we go about doing this "securely"? We could do a straight swap - would you like a few Amandine to try, which were very nice last year? They are already here chitting. I'll happily send some.

            Let me know what you'd like to do.

            Best wishes.

              Peta I've 'private messaged' (pm'ed) you as well - if you look at top right of the page, there's a link below where it says 'Welcome, Peta'.

              If you reply to my pm I'll send you my details - would love to try a few Amandine (for a pot).
