    What's my potato?

    Just bought a kg of Franceline, from our local organic veg box grower.

    They look like a very good salad spud, with red skins. I googled for some info and confusingly some suppliers say Franceline has yellow skins?

    Anyone grown it before?

    Sorry no idea but it sure sounds like a really fancy Frenchie potato, is it not? Don't think I've ever come across it before, so are you saving some for growing ?

      Yeah if they taste good - gonna have some for tea tonight. I reckon they should be okay for seed as they're organic.
