British Queen seed potatoes are a popular second early variety, known for their floury texture and excellent flavor. This heritage potato, first listed in 1894, features oval-shaped tubers with white skin and creamy flesh. They are particularly valued for their high dry matter content, making them ideal for boiling, roasting, and chipping.These potatoes are typically planted in early spring (February to March) for a June harvest, or in April for a July to August harvest. British Queens are recognized for their good resistance to diseases such as blight and scab, although they can be susceptible to pests like slugs and wireworms.With a history of cultivation in Ireland since the 1900s, British Queen potatoes have earned accolades such as the RHS Award of Garden Merit, solidifying their status as a reliable choice for gardeners seeking both quality and yield.
