I'm going to ask this one while potatoes are fresh on peoples' minds 

I grew some Mayan Twilight this year

Actually I had no expectations of the flavour, just had a fancy to grow spuds that looked like a herd of fresians.  Anyway, they came out a picture of perfection, just like the photos unlike a lot of my other varieties.

Thing is, I dug some of them up extra early as tiny baby potatoes just out of curiosity and they had the most unusual flavour, powerfully chestnutty.    Now they're mature they're not nearly as nice, although the chef may be partly to blame for that.

So question is, is there anything wrong with eating seriously immature potatoes? Are they bad for you?   If not I think I'll grow them as second earlies next year - a lot of them.

Can't see why eating immature spuds would be bad for you, that after all is what a "new" potato is. We all strain at the leash to get at the first ones of the year.

Probably not a bad idea to grow these early, as the British Potato Council states they have low resistance to late blight.

What wonderful looking potatoes, they really do like like Fresians . I grew some purple ones last year, they made lilac mash lmao!!

Well, that's put my mind at rest, thanks DD and a useful link.  It's true as the info shows, on the positive side, that they have absolutely minimal scab potential - totally clean. 

Anyway, I decided I might not get blight this year and took a gamble with some early maincrop.  They went in so early because of the warm spring that they've all finished growing now so it seems to have come true    Just the tomatoes left to rot.
