Potato 'Record', 2kg
£7.95
notes
A popular choice for crisping and frying due to its dry, floury texture, the main crop seed potato ‘Record' is notable for its white skin and yellow flesh, and good disease resistance (is also slug resistant!) An old variety (was the favoured variety in UK for crisping until paler crisps became in vogue), it’s a good allrounder in the kitchen.
