I was recently given a bag of supermarket potatoes, very striking in appearance, with no name attached.
They are hens egg size, basically red like Desiree, but every eye has a pale yellow/white kidney shaped patch around it.
Does anyone know what this is? The flavour is of a good new potato. I am thinking of putting a few into the ground to see what happens.
Talking to myself: have found that they are called "Smile".....

Our supermarket had a similar small potato, they had a larger creamy patch there name was Apache ;D
I have to say, looking at Google images for "Apache" that they look absolutely identical!
They do look good, glad to hear they are tasty :)

I think I have a few planted if they have survived the waterlogging :(
I tried growing Smile once.... they weren't very productive under conditions that other potatoes seemed to thrive in....
We grew some last year that were marked like orca beans, half blacky/blue and half white, they were really odd. XX Jeannine
