No one has named a variety yet, do you think there is a best variety for baked potatoes, or is it how they are cooked that is 8mportant

Try Kestrel. It's a brilliant tasty all rounder which boils, mashes, chips as well as bakes. To get size on them remove most of the shoots by cutting with a sharp knife before planting leaving 2 or 3 at most

To get the taste of the potatoes back then,it sounds like they were cooked shortly after harvest,the taste of veg just after harvesting is tastier,something to do with sugar & starch? Desiree & rooster are a lovely baked potatoes but they’re the only two maincrop I remember growing.

I find that Wilja are a great all-rounder and make good jacket potatoes. They are a second early but store very well and if you remove most of the shoots they grow to a good size.
