charlotte pots why so does some of the skin come off?  Also has

It sounds like you're overcooking them. I tried Belle de Fontenay last year, but everything was so waterlogged they rotted in the ground. Not a fair trial!

If the tops have not died off or cut back and the spuds left for a couple of weeks then the skins will not of hardened off.

Many thanks everyone i think it is probably not leaving them alone to
dry off enough
