Default Recommendations for seed potatoes?

Hello everyone,

Last year I grew first early potato 'Arran Pilot', on Bob H's
recommendation, I believe. This year, I will grow them again, but would
like to try another flavourful, non-floury potato that offers reasonably
high yields. It would help if it were readily available so I can
purchase it at a local gc.

I was very happy with the Arran Pilot, Bob(if, indeed, it was you) and I
got a reasonable crop. I only grow in very large tubs, which affects
the yield, but because there is no slug damage, I enjoy the fulness of
the yield.

My father always grew 'Dunluce' (on a Sth Yorkshire clay/silt allotment)
and was always delighted with them. Alas, because I only need a few, I
don't really want to put in a big order with T&M who, infuriatingly will
not accept a potato order with a larger seed/decoratives order. I would
rather buy locally and be able to inspect the seed potatoes.

Also, if anyone can recommend a good second early potato, I would be
interested, thank you. If it can be left to make some early maincrop
pots, that would great but not an absolute necessity.

Thank you for your time.
