Default High performing Athlets potatoes

I’ve grown three varieties of blight resistant potatoes this year, Sarpo Mira, which I’ve grown for years, Carolus and Athlete. I was interested that the Athlete has far out-performed the other two. Nearly all were of a good usable size and very few were invaded by slugs. When I’d sorted all three varieties into immediate use, slightly damaged and perfect, there were at least twice as many Athlete as Carolus and probably three times as many as Sarpo Mira. They also seem to be good baking potatoes.
I shall definitely hope to grow Athlete again.
