Cream Flesh · European
Nicola
Nicola was the first salad potato we produced and has remained a firm favourite with customers and staff alike. With a thin, very light brown skin and cream coloured flesh they have a lovely waxy texture making them perfect for boiling as they hold their shape well. With a sweet flavour they are delicious with or without butter and can be enjoyed hot and cold. They also make a delicious mash, perfect to top off your favourite fish pie.
This is what Graham Garrett Chef/Patron of Michelin starred The West House has to say about our Nicola; 'Nicola are the best waxy potato when you want that amazing texture and flavour and something that won’t fall to pieces when you cook it'.

About this variety
Bred in Germany in 1973, grown in Kent.
Storing your potatoes
When you receive your potatoes we advise you keep them in cool, dark, dry, frost-free conditions during the winter months. Stored correctly they should keep well for up to a month.
In spring and summer you may prefer to refrigerate them. They'll try to grow once the warmer weather arrives, as we don't spray our potatoes with any sprout-inhibiting chemicals. Kept in the fridge they should last a couple of weeks.
A note on seed potatoes
All our varieties are grown from certified seed stock. If you'd like to grow your own, some of our varieties are available as seed potatoes in early spring - get in touch to find out what's available.
