Kerr's Pink seed potatoes are a well-known variety primarily cultivated in Ireland, recognized for their unique characteristics and culinary versatility. They are classified as maincrop potatoes, typically ready for harvest 18 to 20 weeks after planting. The potatoes have an irregular round shape with a skin that is predominantly light brown, accented by pink hues around the eyes.The flesh of Kerr's Pink potatoes is cream-colored, known for its floury and starchy texture, making them ideal for various cooking methods, including boiling, baking, and frying. This variety is especially favored for its excellent storage capabilities due to its low water content, allowing it to remain fresh for several months.Kerr's Pink potatoes are also appreciated for their good blight resistance, although they can be susceptible to certain diseases. They were first introduced in Scotland in 1907 and gained popularity in Ireland shortly thereafter. Despite their declining popularity among amateur growers today, they remain a staple in commercial production due to their reliable yield and flavor profile.
