Profile
Originally, and still famous across UK and beyond, for his blight-free seed potatoes, Andrew now also offers Potatoes to Eat. The Potato House family supplies box schemes, restaurants, catering firms and local customers, and everyone can buy online on their link.
Their heritage and speciality ranges are quite spectacular, and the high quality they are renowned for in seed potatoes is replicated in the Potatoes To Eat range with coloured potatoes, and some organic.
There isn’t much Andrew Skea doesn’t know about potatoes and he takes a real pride in growing an interesting range of specialities for flavour and variety. He grows seed potatoes by Auchterhouse north of Dundee and has an online shop on the link. He offers organic varieties and all his potatoes are grown as nature intended in the rich soils of Tayside.
This is the perfect way to introduce heritage potatoes to your garden, allotment or pots – indeed many of the varietals available from Andrew are on Slow Food’s Ark of Taste. Some of them are pictured here. Andrew tells me his favourite for Christmas roast potatoes has to be Arran Victory – A tip to remember!He is my recommended contact for your Ark potatoes
