2kg Golden Wonder Seed Potatoes
Golden Wonder is a much-loved heritage maincrop potato variety, renowned for its outstanding flavour and traditional floury texture. Supplied in 2kg packs, Golden Wonder produces long, oval tubers with a distinctive russet skin and creamy white flesh. This variety has been grown for generations and remains a favourite with Irish gardeners who value rich taste and excellent cooking performance.
Potato Type and Growing Season
Golden Wonder is a maincrop potato, best planted from April onwards once the soil has warmed and the risk of frost has passed. It typically takes around 20 to 22 weeks to reach maturity, with harvesting taking place from late summer into early autumn. As a maincrop variety, it is well suited to longer-term storage and provides a generous harvest for use through the colder months.
Planting and Growing Advice
For best results, chit Golden Wonder seed potatoes in a bright, frost-free location before planting to encourage strong shoots. Choose a sunny position with light, well-drained soil and improve the ground with plenty of organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. Plant the seed potatoes around 15cm deep, spacing them approximately 30cm apart with 60cm between rows. Earth up the plants regularly as they grow to protect developing tubers from light and to increase yields. Golden Wonder performs particularly well in lighter soils and benefits from steady watering during dry spells, while avoiding waterlogged conditions.
Harvesting and Storage
Golden Wonder potatoes are ready to harvest once the foliage has yellowed and died back naturally. Lift carefully with a fork to avoid damaging the tubers. After lifting, allow the potatoes to dry for a short time in a cool, shaded area before storing. This variety stores exceptionally well when kept in a dark, dry and well-ventilated space, retaining its flavour and floury texture for months.
Best Uses in the Kitchen
Golden Wonder is prized for its dry, floury flesh and deep, nutty flavour. It is particularly excellent for roasting, baking and chipping, producing crisp results on the outside with a fluffy centre. It also works well for mashing and boiling, making it a versatile choice for traditional Irish cooking.
