yes we grow and favour Desiree however the best potato I have ever grew for roasting was a variety called Record slightly being more of a yellow flesh than white it roasts and makes good chips
we used to grow this variety on the farm for making crisps and I took some home and tried them as a roast potato they cooked good and tasted fine
I have to say I haven't grew record for a couple of years now because the places I buy my seed potatoes from don't stock them but I do know there still available
why not give them a try
