Allotments 4 All

Does anyone have any experience of growing blue potatoes? I'm considering planting some on my plot and am not sure what variates there are and which are the best.

I grew Salad Blue (and Burgundy Red) a couple of years ago... not a great crop but the soil was poor and tired... good eating though....
Good luck
;D

I grew Edzel Blue this year, but only the skins were blue.....

Do they stay blue after cooking? 

Salad Blue and Burgundy red retain their colour after boiling.... a plate of red white and blue spuds is a sight to behold!
;D

Really tempted to give them a try next year.

Try Vitelotte from your local potato day http://thewhitchurchweb.org/potatoday/potatodays.htm (check with them whether they will have it) or Tuckers
