La Ratte
£3.00 – £26.70
This variety was first cultivated in the 19th century but suffered a slight dip in popularity which has only been rekindled in the past few decades. A favourite particularly among Michelin starred chefs this French heirloom variety is prized for making a smooth, creamy mash. Being long in shape with a golden skin and a firm, waxy, yellow flesh this variety has a subtle nutty taste that also works well boiled, steamed and wedged.

This variety can also be found in our Fingerling Trio mixed bag.

Description
Storage and Other Tips
When you receive your potatoes we advise you keep them in cool, dark, dry, frost-free conditions during the winter months. They should keep well for up to a month if stored correctly.
In spring and summer you may prefer to refrigerate them. They will try to grow once the warmer weather starts to arrive as we do not spray our potatoes with any sprout inhibiting chemicals. Kept in stable conditions they will keep well for a week, we advise that you only order as many as you need during these periods.
Our potatoes are not certified seed potatoes (unless explicitly stated). They’re not sprayed with chemicals so will grow if given the chance but we’ve grown them for eating. We recommend planting them in your oven, not in the garden!
