Desiree is a firm favourite potato of many for its rosy skin and very finely flavoured pale yellow flesh. Tubers can become very large and slightly mis-shapen but that does not detract from this very versatile variety whether baked, roasted or boiled.
Desiree is a maincrop variety. Flesh Colour - Light Yellow. Uses - steam, mash, chips, saute, baked and roast.
Immediately upon arrival unpack your seed potatoes and keep them in trays in a light, airy, frost free place to sprout prior to planting. Planting - depth 10cm (4"); spacing in row - 30-40cm (12-16"); width between rows - 70-75cm (28-30"). Soil should be well-worked and rich in humus (farm-yard manure or garden compost). Earth up two to three times as the top grows, to avoid green tubers. Feed with a balanced fertiliser and always keep your potatoes watered well during dry periods to ensure a good crop.
NB: Quantities are approximate and based on 10 tubers per kilogram.
