Kerrs Pink is a maincrop variety known for its beautiful pink skin and excellent cooking qualities. The tubers are short and oval with slightly deep eyes, offering a slightly waxy texture that is perfect for a variety of dishes, including baking, chipping, boiling, mashing, and roasting. With good blight resistance and strong long-term storage capabilities, Kerrs Pink potatoes are perfect for gardeners who want a reliable and versatile crop that can be enjoyed throughout the year.

To grow Kerrs Pink, plant the seed potatoes in well-drained, fertile soil in a sunny location. Prepare the ground by incorporating plenty of organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil structure and fertility. Plant the seed potatoes 15 cm (6 inches) deep and space them 30 cm (12 inches) apart, with rows 60 cm (24 inches) apart. Regular earthing up is essential to ensure that the tubers are not exposed to light and prevent greening.

Kerrs Pink potatoes are ready to harvest around 20–22 weeks after planting, typically in late summer or early autumn, once the foliage has withered and turned yellow. Carefully lift the potatoes using a fork to avoid damaging or cutting the tubers. Allow them to dry in a cool, shaded area for a few hours before storing in a dark, dry, and well-ventilated space.

With its outstanding blight resistance and storage capabilities, Kerrs Pink is a great choice for those looking for a reliable potato variety that can be enjoyed well after the harvest season.
