General

Desiree potatoes have a firm, creamy tasting flesh making them ideal for smooth mash or being cooked in a sauce, such as our favourite Potato Dauphinoise/Dauphinoise Potatoes. Desiree are easily recognisable by their lovely red skin and light yellow flesh. Desiree are normally larger, longer and oval shape.

A Marfona is a potato with a moderately waxy texture. It has a light brown or yellow skin and a yellow to cream flesh, and is a high yielding Second Early variety. Due to the potato having a strong flavour it is very good for use as baking, boiling and mashing.
