Yukon Gold

£15.00£40.00

Yukon Gold is deceptively plain in appearance; with a white skin and flesh you would be forgiven for questioning our passion for this potato. However, as I’m sure you can guess (or know) already, this is no ordinary spud.

A traditional Canadian variety, Yukon Gold is one of our best all-rounders (though calling them such doesn’t feel like it does them justice). A fluffy, yet slightly waxy, texture makes them the perfect base for whatever flavours you introduce them to and with a slightly sweet taste of their own they are a moreish and satisfying meal in their own right. We recommend roasting, wedging, mashing and chipping this variety as they are soft and light but will crisp up if treated well.

Chef/Patron of Michelin starred The West House, Graham Garrett says the ‘Yukon Gold seem to absorb more butter and cream than any other potato I know’.

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!
