Traditional favourite that produces large, early potatoes with a fine flavour
When Foremost was first added to the national variety list in 1954 it was called Suttons Foremost.
This variety was an instant hit with gardeners who liked its excellent flavour and resistance to disintegration when boiling. With average sized yields and disease resistance this variety never took off commercially. It does have good common scab resistance.
Foremost potatoes are short to oval in shape with white skin and waxy white flesh. Foremost was awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit and joins an elite club of varieties.
