Potatoes - Duke of York
DUKE OF YORK and RED DUKE OF YORK: Medium haulms; fairly thick. Tubers oval; some almost
egg-shaped. Medium-floury variety with yellowish flesh; very good flavour. Some susceptibility to
blight. Best boiled but will disintegrate if over-cooked. Yield about 1.25 lbs per pot; the
reds slightly more than this. I find the reds a bit more floury and happier in pots than the
whites; good as an early. There is a rare pink variant too; I haven't grown this. Occasionally
flowers in pots (see picture) but usually the buds fall off.
