Anya, yes but PFA, being later, is still in store, & they are by no means only for salads.

But when they are, skins off is more attractive?

Went to the potato fayre at Whitchurch this year and there is a variety called Anya which is a desire x PFA.  It produces a similar tasting spud to PFA good for salads but it comes along earlier when you are still eating lots of salads.  Best of all it doesn't have all the knobbly bits!  Needless to say we bought some to try!

I tried some Anya from Sainsbury's,. We really liked them: they boiled nicely and also roasted well (cut lengthways) - so very similar to PF's, perhaps a bit nuttier - but earlies so unlikely to store well. Have bought some seed pots and will try in containers as well as bed.

I've been growing Anya since they came out... they are an early main, dug up by the end of July... just starting to sprout in store now. Not quite as nice as PFA in my opinion!
;D

I grew Anya last year ad they were absolutely gorgeous. I was so impressed I've gone for thoroughbred PFA's and Desiree this year.

After reading all these PFA reviews I now know why my Missus wants me to grow them... The not having to peel them!

Sow it, grow it, eat it.

A good scrub cut in 1/2 or 1/3s length ways and straight into the chip fryer, and I still have quite a lot left in my lottie shed.  ;D ;D ;D
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.
