Jersey Royal new potatoes

[Gypsy girl]

Would anyone know where or if I can buy these potatoes in Ireland? I'm based in the Midlands.

Thanks

seen them in M&S at the weekend although I have no idea if they have any branches in the Midlands.
A bit pricey though!

I think "Jersey Royal" is a marketing name used to describe a potato which has been around for years under a different name. I think that the name "Jersey Royal" is protected an can only refer to potatoes grown in Jersey.

A lot of people consider the whole JR thing thing to be little more than marketing hype to disguise a mediocre spud.

The generic name for the variety is "international kidney".
