King Edward Potatoes

[jfrater]

Hi all - I returned from living in the UK recently and I loved using King Edward potatoes. Now I have discovered that we don't have them in New Zealand and I desperately want some. I know that they are grown and sold in Australia - Tasmania particularly. Does anyone know if there is someone in NZ that can supply me with some? Or does anyone have some that they could send me seeds for?

If all else fails and I can't get them, I will need to change my potatoes, so here is my next question:

1. What are the best NZ potatoes for roasting?

2. What are the best NZ potatoes for chipping?

3. What are the best NZ potatoes for mashing?

4. What are the best NZ potatoes for gratin?

Thanks
