Early Seed Potatoes

Nothing compares to the joy of biting into a freshly dug new potato. At D.T. Brown, our high-quality early seed potatoes are perfect for gardeners eager to enjoy the first potato harvest of the season. These compact varieties are perfect for growing in potato grow pots, planters, or small vegetable plots.

Easy to grow and quick to mature, early cropping potatoes simply burst with mouth-watering flavour that can't be matched by shop-bought varieties. They’re delightful in salads, sautéed, or simply boiled and served hot with a generous knob of butter. Explore our diverse selection of first early seed potatoes below, from trusted heritage favourites like Sharpes’ Express to the unique Red Duke of York.

Grow Your Own First Early Potatoes

Early seed potatoes are prized for their delicate skins, creamy flesh and unbeatable flavour when dug straight from the ground. These varieties tend to produce smaller tubers packed with taste, rather than larger baking varieties.

Some of our popular early seed potatoes include the iconic Duke of York, famed for its waxy yellow flesh and nutty flavour. The high-yielding Premiere is another customer favourite, reliably producing a large crop of creamy, disease-resistant potatoes.

First early potatoes have a relatively short growing period when compared to many seed potatoes, cropping in as little as 12 weeks. Plant chitted tubers towards the end of March – or earlier in warmer parts of the country – and they’ll be ready to harvest from June.
