Flavour is the main thing for me so you can stick the pink fir apples, charlotte and the like. The only other potato that comes close is one that's marketed as Cornish which is not the variety name.

Have grown these for 3 years. Produces early crops but also can be left to produce baking potatoes. Unaffected by blight when others perished. Tastes brilliant

First year I've had real sucess with First Earlies and I wasn't too good about getting them into the ground after chitting either as the weather was soooo bad! A very heavy crop of really tasty new potatoes. Highly recommended!

New Update: Have these in containers in the conservatory. Left to chit for 3 weeks before planting and now have emerged after 1 week under cover. Looking forward to an early May crop????

Grew in containers on the patio in 2009........ very heavy cropper, so much so that I still have some stored currently! Lovely taste, even now after 9 months in storage.

These potatoes are the best first earlies i have ever grown years! They taste delicious and are very easy to grow! I will hopefully have a bumper crop from them soon!

Excellent tasting first early. Quite a heavy crop and very easy to grow. This was my first attempt at growing potatoes and the results were great, and of course very tasty!
