..of Red Duke of York potatoes, organically grown in a 10" clay pot.
The first time I've grown potatoes in such a small container, due to lack of space. They were delicious, and there are more to come, in other pots.

Hi David,

Interesting shot, very effective lighting, should they have a (C) for captive bred

One of the best meals going is a plate of freshly dug new potatoes, steamed, a sprinkling of salt and a knob of butter, from ground to mouth within an hour YUM YUM

Thanks ! I've just emptied two 15" pots and got nothing like this!
Can I ask- what length is each spud, as I am a big chip man ! And the length of my chips is crucial !!
Great still life anyway.
Cheers

But what about the chip pan ???
An essential partner to all spuds of any kind !

Thanks Rob, just how I cooked them, apart from the salt for health reasons. Here is a repost
I missed the green tinge in the right hand corner.

Hello John, the largest spuds were three inches in length. The total weight was exactly 1lb.
Not bad considering the size of the container and the fact that they were only planted mid June using selected potatoes from some heritage spuds I bought at Sainsbury's. Since my heart attack last year chips are a rare luxury but they taste all the better because of it.

In 1977 Jubilee Year I had red white and blue chips using Red Cardinal, King Edward and Purple Congo potatoes. Those were the days.

Hi David,
the potatoes look delicios and you have fine photographed them,
a double pleasure.
