We live in Cheshire & my OH has just said he would like to grow some Cheshire potatoes. Is this possible? I wondered if it's the soil that makes the Cheshire potato rather than the type. If you know what I mean.

It sounds like my father's theory, that you need to get Scottish seed, grow them on your own land to acclimatise them, save the seed for the following year as they will be acclimatised to that soil. We used to know these as "once grown Scottish seed".
