Potato Charlotte (Second Early Seed Potato) AGM
Product Description
A highly popular French-bred seed potato, Charlotte is renowned as the salad seed potato of choice for many discerning chefs. This second early seed potato produces smooth, tender-skinned tubers with pale yellow flesh and a delightfully waxy texture.
Tasty and versatile, Charlotte potatoes excel in salads, where their wonderful new potato flavour really shines. They're also delicious when boiled, roasted, or sliced into gratins, holding their shape well when served cold or warm. Their small to medium size and consistent shape adds an elegant touch to any plate.
What sets the second early seed potato Charlotte apart is its outstanding resistance to scab and blight, ensuring a reliable harvest season after season. This disease-resistant potato has a great taste and texture and has earned it the prestigious RHS Award for Garden Merit.
To maximise your Charlotte potato harvest, we recommend chitting prior to planting out. This process encourages seed potatoes to sprout, allowing them to establish more readily and leading to bigger crops. Simply place them in an old egg box, blunt end up, until the shoots are approximately 1 ½ to 2½ cm (½ to 1in) long.
