I grew some PFA in old compost bags last year but the foliage was HUGE! Any advice about others I could try - don't mind which kind - with compact foliage.
PFA are renowned for the longest foliage in the business!! And sloth of groth!!
Any early would do??
The RHS recommend earlies for container growing rather than mains.

Charlotte are very flavoursome if you like the waxy salad type, but I don't know about their disease resistance.
we grew swift last year, off Eric and Colleen the year before, did 2 lots in containers, lovely but they did need lots of water, IF it ever stops raining. :)
The same question is being asked elsewhere on A4A - any not very early 1st early is worth a try (the earlier they are the poorer flavour they tend to have).
Have a look at Lady Christl http://www.wcf-phoenix.co.uk/potatopicker/variety.asp?VarietyID=47 (http://www.wcf-phoenix.co.uk/potatopicker/variety.asp?VarietyID=47)
