Purpe stains on potatoes

[colser]

just dug up some potatoes, a bit of purple dye in places, anyone know what this could be and whether they are still edible.

i earthed them up, probably about 6 inches

[Flummery]

What variety are they? Some naturally have red on them. It could be normal for that plant.

that was quick, Charlotte i think,
(i really need to start taking notes about what i've planted where)

[colser]

in fact i think it may be kestrel

[markwcel]

[colser]

i got winston pots and they have red spots similar to those shown, it comes out when boiled.

Kestrel are a 2nd early as far as I know (I bought them because of there slug resistance!) and my plants are no where near ready for harvesting yet!

Interesting to know what they will look like though!

Definitely not charlotte but whatever they are it is a natural stain and just part of that variety of potato. They look a nice size.
