Golden Wonder Seed Potatoes

From £6.99

A late heritage maincrop with thick russet skin, very dry floury flesh and an intense traditional flavour that is particularly good after storage.

Categories: , , ,

Description

Golden Wonder is a late-maturing heritage variety grown for flavour rather than cosmetic perfection. The long oval tubers develop a thick russet skin and cream flesh with very high dry matter, producing the dry, floury eating quality associated with traditional Irish potatoes.

It is outstanding for roasting, chips, mash and baking, and its flavour is often considered to improve after a period in store. Because it is late, Golden Wonder benefits from going into the ground promptly once conditions are suitable and from being given time to complete its season. It has useful resistance to common scab and dry rot but should not be described as blight resistant.

  • Cooking type: Floury
  • Texture: Very dry, floury and fluffy

Planting & Growing

Chit seed potatoes in a cool, bright, frost-free place if you want to encourage an earlier start. Plant from late March into April once the soil is workable and conditions are suitable.

Plant approximately 10–15cm deep, allowing about 35–40cm between tubers and around 75cm between rows. Earth up developing shoots to keep tubers covered and maintain an even water supply while tubers are forming.

Variety-specific advice: Plant as early as conditions safely allow for a maincrop and allow a long growing season. Cure well before storage; this is a variety worth keeping for winter eating.

Harvest: Allow a longer season and check tuber development from late summer into autumn.
