The UK site http://www.britishpotatoes.co.uk/varieties.asp only lists commercially rown varieties and offers no help on cultivation

Probably the best UK site is the one run by WCF-Phoenix which supplies most of the garden centres and DIY Chains with their prepacked seed potatoes http://www.wcf-phoenix.co.uk/potatopicker/search.asp

The definitive European site is http://www.europotato.org/help_search.php this is comprehensive but purely text. It can be useful try the INdexes tab and then Characters (they mean characteristics)

A French site with many varieties that are available in Enland http://www.plantdepommedeterre.org/eng/mainvar.asp is a. in English and b. has pictures and ives growing advice and cooking uses.

The equivalent Dutch site is http://www.aardappelpagina.nl/uk/Abo...iety_catalogue

All you need to know about 17 modern Scottish varieties is at http://www.caithnesspotatoes.com/cai... ang=eng&id=18

and finally try this one from the USA http://www.clarksd.com/potato/wrestling.htm
