I've seen Bintje potatoes mentioned quite a bit and they do seem to be a very popular variety in many countries, though pretty much unheard of in the UK. Reportedly very tasty tatties and productive plants, great for chips, roasting and in caseroles. This year I've bought some Bintje seed potatoes to try for myself, though I suspect I maybe dissapointed as I have since heard they are fairly average and none too tasty. Coupled with they flower rarely and are pollen sterile I'm losing my attraction! But I am going to plant some just to see how they do and I'd love to try a few as 'French Fries'!
I'll update on proress later in the season.
