Desiree Seed Potato

Desiree Potato Seed.

Desiree is a striking red-skinned main crop potato originally bred in the Netherlands. It is a favourite with allotment growers due to its resistance to drought, although it is not so well suited to organic growing. It is a versatile, fairly waxy variety which is firm and holds its shape and useful for all methods of cooking. Desiree is also sold as a baking potato.
