Potatoes - Charlotte

CHARLOTTE
Yield typically 1.25 lbs per 2 gallon container, but lower in blight years. Pale yellow skins and off-white flesh; very waxy. Excellent when new for boiling. No good for mashing or baking; OK for frying in oil when young. On storage the skins gradually become tougher and the flesh less pleasant; by late April, large stored tubers may start to go woody.

Flowers are the usual potato-flower colour: white with yellow centres; they flower freely but don't set seed. The plants have heavy haulms; they are fairly susceptible to blight (5).
