Next season I'd like to try out the following sorts (seed potatoes are
available here):

# Arran Victory
# King Edward

Any suggestions..?

Other recommendations..?


Depends on your soil type and the age old Ground Slug problem.
For example...
King Edwards do not seem to like clay soil so we only ever got small tubers
(with holes in!).

Aran Victory is rather uncommon so may be difficult to find and it needs a
long season ( so not good if slugs are a problem for you)

If you have a problem with slugs eating your potatoes then there are a
number of Slug resistant varieties some of which we have tried and can
recommend (marked with **) for clay soil...

Kestral** - second early (good keeper for a SE)
Lady Rosetta - se
Maritiema - se
Romano** (red skinned)- early maincrop
Hermes - maincrop
Midas- mc
Pentland Dell - mc
Spey **(child of Kestral, very similar)- maincrop

Not slug resistant but makes wonderfully tasty chips... Majestic .. like
they used to taste.
