Planting is usually carried out from April onwards once soil conditions are suitable. Record potatoes typically take around 18 to 20 weeks to mature, with harvesting taking place from late summer into early autumn, when the foliage begins to die back naturally.
Planting and Growing Advice
For best results, chit Record seed potatoes in a bright, frost-free place before planting to encourage strong shoots. Choose a sunny position with well-drained, fertile soil and improve the ground with plenty of organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure. Plant the seed potatoes around 10cm deep, spacing them approximately 30cm apart with 60cm between rows. As the plants grow, earth up soil around the stems regularly to protect developing tubers from light and to support a good yield.

This variety stores well when kept in a dark, dry and well-ventilated location, allowing you to enjoy your crop for several months after harvest.
Best Uses in the Kitchen

It performs particularly well for chipping and roasting, while also being ideal for mashing, boiling and baking. Its balanced texture and full flavour make it a great choice for both everyday meals and traditional favourites.
