Maincrop potato varieties occupy the ground longer than other kinds, but produce the heaviest yields, often with very large tubers ideal for baking.
Solanum tuberosum 'Maris Piper' bears heavy crops of dry, floury potatoes with a good flavour. A good all-round potato, Solanum tuberosum 'Maris Piper' is perfect for chipping and baking, and shows good resistance to golden eelworm.
