Could someone please tell me something about Anya potatoes. Do you treat them like new potatoes or will they store.

2 web pages. All I know is that I tried them 3 years ago and got a poor yield. Have not tried them again.

Worth planting 3-4 tubers and deciding for yourself.

Being second early they tend to sprout early if you store them, also being fairly small can soften and shrink  on storage.

they are a superb tasting potato, good yield if left in ground long enough, but won't store.

We actually got an okay yield from ours, but they didn't store well. The cold weather got them quick!

I got a poor yeild too, though my other varieties did well. I won't bother again. I've decided I don't really like PFA either.
