I have a few varieties in the shed in straw. They look good.
I have Lady Balfour which I dug up late. The blight had got the leaves but the spuds look good.
I have noticed there is a tang with the LB its rather strange to describe bit like a wee smell. I noticed it in the roasties and the chips also they are far too soft for roasting. They didn't crisp up. So fluffy in the middle but wouldn't crisp up.
I know LB are supposed to be a good storage spud but is there some blight in the spud? Perhaps after store they don't make a good roastie but there seems they seem to be a positive spud to keep. I also have a red spud called Rudolph but I haven't tried that one recently. Both spuds were nice when pulled.
Can someone in the spud world help me out on this one?
