Description
Pink Duke of York First Early Seed Potatoes 1 Kilo
A rare and exquisite sport of the beloved heritage Duke of York, dating back to the late 19th century origins in Aberdeenshire. This pink-skinned gem elevates the classic with its striking blush exterior and light yellow flesh that’s even tastier than its parent—dry, mealy, and bursting with rich, nutty flavor.
Long-oval tubers with shallow eyes make it a standout first early, perfect for harvesting young as tender new potatoes or letting mature for versatile kitchen adventures. Low resistance to common foes like blight and scab means it’s best for vigilant gardeners, but the reward? A true heirloom upgrade that’s as beautiful on the plate as it is in the plot
