Title: Bintje (potatoes)

This is widely grown in Belgium and considered THE potato for chipping. And since Belgian chips are the best in the world (not that I'm biased ;))...

Anyway, I have lived in the UK for 17 years and have never seen this variety for sale in shops. Is it available as a seed potato ????

No, never.

However, I love chips so may try them, especially as I agree that Belgium has the best chips.
