Grow Delicious Maincrop Potatoes

Maincrop seed potatoes are a true staple of any UK vegetable patch or allotment. Easy to grow and care for, and much tastier than supermarket potatoes, they’re a rewarding crop for gardeners of all levels.

Unlike first early seed potatoes, maincrops don’t require chitting before planting. Plant tubers from mid-April and harvest two weeks after the tops have died down, usually from late August to October. If kept in a cool, dry, airy place, they can be stored for several months.

Some of the largest potatoes you can grow, maincrop seed potatoes are good for a variety of culinary uses, from roasting to mashing. They are typically floury seed potatoes with thick skins – perfect for fluffy jacket potatoes. However, you’ll also find several firm and waxy maincrop varieties, like the irresistible Belle de Fontenay.
