Favourite potatoes - Cultra

This is an Irish potato resembling King Edward. It is currently sold by the Co-Op, prepacked.

It is a maincrop, ready fairly early, with dry matter about the same as King Edward and an unusually good flavour. I first encountered this when visiting Ireland in 1988. It was bred by TEAGASC, the state-funded agriculture and food development agency in Carlow, Southern Ireland.
