This potato comes from Henry Harrington’s early life around Akaroa, as a descendant of the de Malmanche French settlers. It is a large rock like potato with few but deep eyes and a light purple/ pink blush under the skin. It is a fluffy potato so it is best boiled, or mashed, and has a good flavour.
