First introduced in 1879, International Kidney is a classic old salad variety that has seen a resurgence in popularity under the name 'Jersey Royal' - yes 'Jersey Royals' are simply International Kidney potatoes that have been grown on Jersey!

Harvested prematurely it is a small, firm, waxy potato with a fine flavour - great hot or cold and perfect for Summer salads. And where does the 'Kidney' bit of the name come from? Because if you stretch your imagination far enough they look Kidney shaped!

Chit tubers by placing 'eye face up' in egg boxes or shallow trays and standing in a warm light location.
Once small green shoots (or chits) appear move to a cooler location for a few weeks before planting out.
Best planted out mid March - April. Later plantings will be fine but yield may be smaller.
Dig trenches approximately 6" (15 cm) deep and 2 feet (60 cm) apart.
Press tubers into the base of the trench 12" (30 cm) apart with chits facing up and cover with 1" (2.5 cm) of soil.
Water in and keep the crop well watered in dry spells.
When the haulm (top growth of the plants) reaches 9" (23 cm) earth up around the plants leaving just the top 4" (10 cm) showing - repeat again later if required.
Potatoes should be ready for harvest approximately 10 - 15 weeks after planting.

Supplied as 1 Kg (to the nearest potato) of certified seed potatoes.
