The list has been extracted from the varieties people posted on the "Potato Results 2010" thread, so if you did not post about them on there, they won't be on the voting list.

That is why argyllie included "Other - let us know" at the bottom of the list.

I did !

A forum search doesn't find it, just this result in the Green Potato thread...

Desiree; Two full rows with very little Slug damage.
Maris Piper; Two full rows with considerable slug damage.

PFA for taste every time, and had a good yield this year (lots better than last year) cos I left them really late. Setanta has been a revelation, basically a disease resistant Rooster, and the other fave this year has been Pentland Dell, nice big spuds and less scab problems than Valor..... Still haven't harvested my COngo's..... those things aren't kidding about being a late main......

[tontom]

second year of growing this abundant , very versatile spud , no damage and will grow again next year , Desiree

[Aunt Sally]

We always get a really good crop from Desire.

We also planted Cara which were brilliant.

These were lifted from a row of 16 plants.

[Jamie Butterworth]

They look brill aunt sally, im dead jealous, was there not much slug damage as nearly all of mine got eaten by slugs or something

[Aunt Sally]

There was no slug damage - the summer was so dry and hot we've hardly seen a slug.  There was some damaged by wire worm and a few chewed away by mice.

Early days with some more votes to come in but Desiree is the leader.
Doesn't surprise me because it is an excellent spud that makes great mash and doesn't suffer as much as others from slug damage.

It's in the three I voted for, but if asked to put them in order, it wouldn't be the top one.

That remains "Ambo" which is a cross between Auntie's Cara and your Desiree. How could you go wrong? 

[compostqueen]

Not heard of that one DD but like you say it should be unbeatable. I think Picasso is a spin off from Cara

[arugula]

Perhaps elsewhere too, but Ambo is in the Garden Organic catalogue and its on my long list so far....

[DD.]

Your're right, it's a Cara x Ausonia, whatever one of those is!  

This is the third year I've grown Ambo, it's one of those where I fell for the blurb in the nursery, but I wasn't disappointed.

It by far out performed the Picasso I grew the same year as I first tried them.

Last year I couldn't get the seed, so I grew my own. Iain said it was OK for one year!

[mumofstig]

I'm going to try Ambo next year, after all the pics and recommendations it's had.

I had quite a good yield for my Desiree, but they were all on the small size....precious few big enough for jackets and Garden Organic is the only place I've found it............so I better get my order in quick 

[DD.]

My Desiree were exactly the same, whereas the Ambo are mostly coming up as bakers. I got them from our local nursery at the same price as Wilko's seed, although they didn't have them in last year.
