While in the Canary Isles I was a little surprised to see that the farmers
always used 'Certified Scottish' for planting~~as of course we do.
They cooked the potatoes in either seawater or dry salt! They were
delicious ~especially the latter.
They also grew a variety that was exceptionally expensive and never larger
than a walnut. Seemed to be about £2 a lb.

gorgeous! I'm
sure they work with other spuds, though they're probably not as good.

Would you put some in the post Sacha, my Belgian wife would love to
try them :-)

I'll happily get you some from our local shop and send them but don't
think
I can manage to get them from Jersey to you. ;-) That said, the
farmer
I'm waiting to hear from always sends me a box of Royals every year and
one
year (after I'd joked about it) included a pack of Jersey butter, too!
But I think I've tracked down Iris's source where you can order direct.

Thanks Sacha saved for next year.

Whoops, I thought it was seed potatoes :-)
