I've only ever grown potatoes in containers before so was a bit nervous about having to dig them out the ground rather than just emptying tubs out into the wheelbarrow. It turned out to be a lot simpler than I thought (made much easier by the rain softened ground) and the first row yielded an impressive 5kg from 4 seed potatoes (and I only speared 2 with the fork while digging!).
The one small random red potato must be an escapee from the next row where I believe the Red Duke of York potatoes are. We had some of these simply boiled and served with a little butter and they were delicious (as were the mange tout also in the photo).
