potatoe help please

Hello all
Just had my first crop of potatoes
Charlotte which I fund to be dry boiled and for chips ?
International kidney I also found dry boiled a and for chips ?
Now I had a huge crop of foremost for chips they were fantastic
I have more of all 3 above still in my potatoes bags
And seems to be growing very well
All were planted at end of April
Can I leave the rest for many months in the bags and harvest them say late September October ?
as some of them are starting to droup and one is going yellow
Thank you paul

 

hello any of you had these spuds !!!!!!!!!!!!paul

 

Hi Paul,

Sorry, your post dropped off the radar.

Yep, if you leave them for 2 weeks or more after the halms have dropped then they develop thicker skins and keep better.

I don't often make chips so cant give an opinion there, but I save the water I boil the potatoes in & make gravy to pour back over them.

 

Neither of the first two are really a classic "chipping spud", make a great meal boiled with a salad though, of course its all down to personal opinion.

Some people roast Charlottes, not keen myself though, International Kidney is what we call a Jersey royal.

Never knowingly tried Foremost.

Ziggy: Potato starch for the gravy here too, yum.

 

May I also point out, it is a very ILL MANNERED of you to expect a reply at 2 o clock IN THE MORNING.

 

thanks to you all for your replys
paul
