Mayan potatoes are becoming increasingly popular in kitchen gardens and supermarkets as they are full of flavour and cook in a third less time than standard varieties. The yield is not as high as what we would normally expect, but the flavour will more than compensate. Great for growing in containers near the kitchen door, these potatoes are a cook’s delight.

Mayan potatoes are derived from ancient varieties growing wild in South America, some of which are over 7000 years old. They have been developed further in a Scottish breeding programme which balanced out the different growing climates of Peru and the UK.

We are offering the three Mayan varieties. 'Mayan Gold' is the original potato introduced in the UK – it is a golden gourmet potato with a super nutty flavour and is perfect for roasting, chips and crisping. 'Mayan Queen' has a higher yield and is rated highly in taste tests – perfect for roasting, baking and for wedges. The last in our trilogy is the attractive red and white skinned 'Mayan Twilight' which is perfect steamed as a hot or cold salad potato.

Buy 10 tubers of any of the varieties for £6.95 inc p&p or buy all three varieties (30 tubers) for £13.90 inc p&p.
