potatoes a bit bland?

as I've said in previous topics we have had a very good crop of late potatoes [Kestrel] this season had a few blighted but good size and seem to be keeping well however when cooked they don't seem to have the flavour that some I've grew in the past  for instance both Cara and Desire i feel had more flavour when boiled

although i have to say we haven't yet tried Kestrel for chips or baked maybe there a better potato for baking or chipping we did also grow some Red Duke of York that we are cooking at present and they do seem to have more flavour when boiled than the Kestrel?

I did say i would be growing Desire next season as a main crop potato but I'm still undecided I may go with Red Duke of York 

it would be interesting to hear what potatoes other gardeners grow for its  flavour for boiling chipping and roasting

I find Desiree a very reliable and versatile main crop, its main disadvantage being that it is very prone to scab in my alkaline soil.

I grew Sarpo Blue Danube for the first time this year.
It is excellent as a roast potato, gets lovely and crisp with a great flavour.
It is also good very finely sliced and baked with butter (as in Pommes Anna and Gratin Dauphinois).
Not so good boiled or mashed though.
I am growing it again next year just for the roasties.
I have liked my Kestrels for jackets and mash.

I grew both Kestrel and Desiree this year and for mash the Desiree was better but as mum said it's all a matter of personal taste
