Foxy Chat Seed Potatoes: Grow Sweet, Creamy, Bite-Sized Potatoes 🥔🌱

Bring something truly special to your garden this season with Foxy Chat Seed Potatoes — the much-loved “baby potato” style made famous in Australian kitchens, now grown beautifully in South African gardens. Harvested young, chats are known for their delicate skins, natural sweetness, and rich, creamy texture.

Now you can grow your very own crop of bite-sized gourmet potatoes at home.

🌿 What Are Foxy Chat Seed Potatoes?

“Chat” refers to the size and maturity of the potato — small, early-harvest, and incredibly flavourful. When grown in your garden, Foxy Chats develop:

• A thin, tender skin that barely needs peeling

• A sweet, creamy flesh due to their early growth stage

• A waxy texture that holds shape beautifully when cooked

• Perfect size for roasting whole, smashing, or using in potato salads

Think of them as the young, gourmet version of your favourite potato — grown right at home.

🌱 Perfect for South African Gardens

Foxy Chat Seed Potatoes thrive across most South African regions when planted outside of heavy frost periods.

Ideal Conditions:

• Position: Full sun

• Soil: Loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil

• Water: Consistent moisture, never waterlogged

• Climate: Performs exceptionally well in Gauteng, KZN Midlands & Coast, Western Cape spring/summer, Limpopo, and Lowveld regions
