X 10 POTATO CHARLOTTE

Some potatoes are for the freezer, and some are for the table — Charlotte belongs firmly with the latter. This pretty, pear-shaped salad variety carries a subtle nutty sweetness that turns a simple boiled potato into something you'll actually look forward to. It's forgiving too: happy in a raised bed, a large pot, or a proper vegetable patch, with real resistance to scab and blight built in. Come midsummer, you'll be pulling up waxy little tubers that taste every bit as good warm from the pan as they do cold in a salad the next day.
