Desiree is a popular Dutch potato variety first bred in the 1960s, producing large oval to elongated tubers with smooth red skin and firm pale yellow flesh. A reliable and drought-tolerant variety and it is a favourite among home gardeners for its consistent yields and excellent versatility in the kitchen. Ideal for mashing, roasting, baking, boiling, frying or adding to salads. Desiree is a true all-rounder. This indeterminate variety forms tubers along the stem, so covering around 70% of the growing stems with soil, straw or compost will help increase yields. *Indeterminate.

Riley W. ★★★★★

The red skin on these Desiree tubers is really striking, and they’ve handled a dry spell in my garden without any wilting. I’m already seeing strong, healthy shoots after just a couple of weeks.

Joshua ★★★★★

The red skin on these Desiree tubers is gorgeous, so smooth it almost looks waxed, and the pale yellow flesh inside cooked up fluffy and firm for us. Even with our sandy soil and a dry June, they still pushed out those big oval spuds we were hoping for.

Christopher ★★★★★

Every single seed potato came up, and by late summer I was digging up these huge red-skinned tubers that held together beautifully in a roast. We had a dry spell in July and they barely seemed bothered, which says a lot for a variety I'd never grown before.
