Second Early Potatoes
Second early potatoes are, like the name suggests, slightly later to mature than the first earlies, but still considered early potatoes. They are ready to start lifting about 2 weeks after the first early potatoes. In the second early category you’ll often find those potatoes referred to as ‘salad potatoes’, because they’re slightly more firm in the flesh, and therefore ideal for using in salads.
Like the first earlies, second early potatoes are best eaten straight out of the ground, and will keep stored in the ground for up to a month after reaching maturity.
