Maincrop


Maincrop potato varieties produce larger varieties for baking and roasting. For best results, 'chit' the tubers and then plant up from March to mid May. The potatoes will be ready to harvest approximately 20 weeks after planting. Maincrop potatoes are best grown in the ground, where they will have more space. 'Sarpo' potatoes offer exceptional resistance to blight, a common problem in potatoes.

Potato 'Kifli'

Solanum tuberosum

 Customer Rating

Early maincrop.

Best planted early as it can be a slow starter, Potato ‘Kifli’ shows the usual good ‘Sarpo’ family resistance to drought and blight, as well as a high resistance to virus. This early maincrop variety produces elongated white-skinned tubers with a fabulous ‘new potato’ flavour, that is best enjoyed when tubers are freshly harvested and cooked in their skins. ‘Kifli’ can be harvested over a long period - the larger and more mature tubers will still have excellent flavour. Height and spread: 60cm (24").

Potato 'Heritage Collection'

Solanum tuberosum

First early, second early, early maincrop, maincrop.

These five heritage varieties, all dating from before the 1950’s, have survived in enthusiasts’ collections over many years. T&M has previously sold these as microplants and minitubers, however we are delighted to be able to offer these now as regular seed potatoes. Height and spread: 60cm (24").


  • Collection comprises:
  • Potato ‘Highland Burgundy Red’ (maincrop) - Burgundy red flesh, with a fluffy texture and delicious sweet flavour. An excellent general purpose potato that retains its colour well if steamed rather than boiled.
  • Potato ‘Belle de Fontenay’ (early maincrop) - This pre-1950's first early variety, produces beautiful pale yellow tubers with a notably firm, waxy texture, making it an excellent salad potato.
  • Potato ‘Arran Pilot' (first early) - A traditional favourite with white flesh, a firm waxy texture and a pleasing flavour.
  • Potato 'Shetland Black' (second early) - Shallow eyed tubers with dark blue to almost black skin, and pale yellow floury flesh with a distinctive purple vascular ring.
  • Potato 'Salad Blue' (early maincrop) - Contrary to its name, the spectacular blue, floury flesh, of this unusual coloured potato is best suited to baking, roasting, mash, boiling or chips.

Potato 'Trixie'

Solanum tuberosum

  • NEW in 2013

Early maincrop.

Developed by Scottish Crops Research Institute, Potato ‘Trixie’ is a superb cross between ‘Charlotte and ‘Mayan Gold’. The long, oval tubers have pale yellow skin with shallow, purple eyes and pale flesh. Tubers have a more regular shape than ‘Charlotte’ and with ‘phureja’ in its parentage, the cooking time is a third less than for conventional potatoes. This early maincrop has a dry, floury texture so steaming is recommended as boiling can lead to disintegration. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
