Commercial potatoes are classified as âearlyâ (these provide the small ânew potatoesâ) or âmaincropâ, according to when they mature and are harvested. Wilson (1993) has provided an excellent survey of British and European varieties of both categories, explaining their origins, uses, and relative importance in commerce and the kitchen. This survey reflects the position in the 1990s, and covers among very many others:
early varietiesâArran Pilot, Home Guard, Red Craigâs Royal, and Maris Peer;
maincropâDesiree, Kerrâs Pink, King Edward, Red King, Golden Wonder, Majestic, Maris Piper, Pentland Crown, Pentland Dell, and Redskin.
