Duke of York Seed Potatoes are a classic first early variety, introduced in 1891 and still highly valued today for their excellent flavour, smooth skin, and reliable performance. This traditional white-skinned variety is a staple for home gardeners and allotment growers who want an early, tasty crop with heritage appeal.
Unlike the red-skinned Red Duke of York, the original Duke of York produces pale yellow, oval-shaped tubers with cream-coloured flesh and a slightly floury texture when cooked. Their flavour is subtle and buttery, making them perfect for early summer meals straight from the garden.
