Potatoes - Skerry Blue
Skerry Blue is an old Irish variety with a vivid purple skin. The cooking quality was reputedly excellent; dry and floury. I have no personal experience of this variety so far - have not been able to obtain seed.
I am grateful to Chris Hitchcock and William Whitehead for permission to photograph this sample, which was on display at Painswick Rococo Gardens during October 2008.
