Hi BobbieJ. We also found the best bar none spud on a Tassie trip a few years back. Seed spuds are available in Syd., but you have to hunt them down. Google dutch cream potato to find Tassie suppliers. Very reasonable price. Once you taste those things, everything else is an also-ran. Occasionally they appear in Syd. supermarkets, but they sell out super-quick. They're addictive. Mmm, Dutch Creams....

I bought some Dutch Creams off Ebay (asked a potato seller and she hunted them down for me), and they grew fantastically in SA. I've been using them for mash mostly so far, but they roast up remarkably well, I haven't tried the with chips yet, but I think they'd work well.

Best mash potatoes I've made so far (am a chef, so its saying something.).

Thanks so much everyone. Great advice. I am going to grow lots more now. They are wonderful potatoes.

By the way, I grew parsnips this year and am hooked on parsnip mash - not the mushy, watering stuff. Just mashed with butter and salt. Fresh is so much better.
