Red Duke of York seed potatoes are a heritage potato variety dating back to 1942, the first ones were said to be found in amongst a crop of white dukes in Holland. These first early seed potatoes produce red skinned tubers with shallow eyes and yellow flesh. Red Dukes are a dry, mealy potato packed with flavour and do not disintegrate on boiling.
Without doubt one of my own personal favourite varieties on sale at JBA, many major supermarkets and retailers are now stocking Red Duke of York as their 'Best of the best/Finest' range.
