Premiere Seed Potatoes provide a heavy yielding, early season crop with great chip flavour.
With golden skins and pale white flesh, these Premiere Seed Potatoes can be harvested to make great Summer roast or jacket potatoes. They have good disease resistance and are a firm overall performer to have in the kitchen.
We recommend planting First Early potato tubers, such as Premiere, outside from March onwards, 10cm deep and 20cm apart in a line. Leave at least 30cm between lines to allow growing space.
Prior to planting, encourage Seed Potatoes to sprout by placing them on a cool, bright windowsill for 4-6 weeks. This process is known as ‘chitting’ and will help prepare the potato tuber for going in the ground.
Once planted, ‘earth up’ the potatoes by drawing the soil up around new shoots to protect them from frost damage and prolong the growing time. Earthing up also protects developing potatoes from sunlight which causes them to turn green and poisonous. Keep potatoes well watered during warm weather.
