Voted THE BEST BAKER by Gardeners’ World magazine! The ‘weight watcher’s potato’ and the ‘butterless baker’ are the nicknames of this exciting new potato. Has less calories and carbohydrates than most other varieties and does not even need butter to improve its flavour! Resistant to scab. Potatoes are one of the most rewarding vegetables to grow. There's the nurturing process of chitting, planting and earthing-up, the anticipation of a good harvest as you dig through the soil and, of course, the unbeatable taste of fresh, home-grown, potatoes. All potatoes (except for maincrops) will benefit from chitting prior to planting out. The chitting process encourages the seed to sprout, which then when planted, helps them to establish more readily, leading to bigger crops. Simply place them, blunt end up, in an old egg box until the shoots are approximately 1 to ½cm (½ to 1in). Potatoes are delivered in 1kg bags, each pack containing approx. 8-14 tubers.

FAQs

Discover more about Vivaldi Potatoes

What are Vivaldi potatoes best for?

The Vivaldi potato is easy to cook and has a light, creamy texture. Vivaldi potatoes are best for boiling, mashing, baking, salads, roasting, and chipping due to their versatile texture that holds shape when boiled yet becomes creamy for mash. It pairs well with chicken and fish. They have pale yellow skin and flesh and don’t need much butter to taste good when baked.

How to plant and space your Vivaldi seed potatoes?

Vivaldi seed potatoes are best planted in March to early April in sunny spots with good, rich soil. First, let them sprout (chit) in a cool, light place for 4-6 weeks until shoots are 3cm long. We recommend you dig trenches 10cm deep with rows 45cm apart, and plant the potatoes 30cm apart, shoots up, before covering with soil and watering.

How long does it take Vivaldi potatoes to grow?

When the green leaves and stems start to turn yellow and die back, usually about 10-13 weeks after planting, it’s time to harvest. Carefully dig around the base of the plant with a fork or spade to lift your Vivaldi potatoes without damaging them. Let the potatoes dry for a few hours in a cool, shaded place before storing. Handle them gently to avoid bruises, and store them in a dark, cool, and dry place in paper or mesh bags to keep them fresh longer.
