The other good thing about Sarpo Mira is that they have really tough skins and the slugs find it very hard to get into them.

If you're eating them baked, make sure you're wearing your best dentures!

I've gone for Charlotte, Setanta and (seeing as last year's spuds were decimaed by blight) Sarpo Mira. Good to see plenty of positive comments on SM.

Based on a mixture of this thread, last year's experience and wanting to try something new, I've gone for:

5 Red Duke of York - Not tried before.
5 Pentland Javelin - Did well last year, and the last few are still in storage.

5 Maxine - Not tried before
2.5 Kg of Sarpo Mira - Sounds like a good spud from what you all say!

I wanted Kestrel as it was brilliant for me last year, but they only had 25KG sacks, and we don't use that many potatoes! I'll pick a few up later if I see them in a shop.

My potato list is as follows:

Lady Christl
Winston

Charlotte
Maris Peer
Piccolo Star

Kifli
Mayan Gold
Pink Fir Apple
Sarpo Axona

[New shoot]

All sorted with mine now 

Got 20 of each which is loads for me, but making a determined effort to grow as much as possible and keep those veg bills down   

Belana - mini new potato which I am going to grow half in the greenhouse in buckets for a super early crop and half outside

Charlotte - 'cos they are lovely eating

Kestral - as above plus I have a heavy patch of ground I have dug old fruit bushes out of which needs bringing back to life and Kestral seem to laugh in the face of clay and grow anyway 

Sarpo Mira - don't always grow main crops but I have grown these before and they are very productive and store well.

I grew Anya last year and they were good, so if I spot some at work, may buy a few to crowbar into the plot somewhere 

[deshojo]

I'm growing a fair variety this year - just a few of some of these as a trial

Orla
Sarpo Una
Charlotte
Cara - coped with blight very well last year
Sarpo Axona
Valor
Lady Balfour
Setanta
Sarpo Gwyn

And no gratuitous pictures yet either!

I have gone with Ulster Classic as a first early and British Queen as a second early.  No room for main crop too.
