Solanum tuberosum

The Bikini potato is an eye-catching heirloom variety known for its striking two-tone skin. With rosy pink splashes over a golden base, these tubers are as visually appealing as they are productive. Bikini is an early-maturing variety and finishes fast, with harvests ready in just 70 to 85 days, making it one of the quickest options for growers keen to enjoy homegrown potatoes early in the season.

In the kitchen, Bikini delivers on both looks and flavour. Its creamy yellow flesh holds up beautifully when fried, making it a top contender for chips and crisp-style dishes. The balance of starch and moisture gives it a light, crisp bite and a soft interior. Whether roasted, pan-fried or baked, Bikini stands out with its texture and subtle earthy notes.

Livingseeds supplies plant-ready Bikini seed potatoes, eliminating the need for chitting. Plant directly into soil that has warmed to at least 10 °C. Set tubers 10 to 15 cm deep, 30 cm apart with 75 cm between rows. Due to its quick maturity, it is ideal for early season planting or successive sowings to stagger your harvest.

This variety produces consistent yields of medium-sized, uniform tubers. The shallow eyes and smooth skin make preparation easy, and the early harvest window reduces exposure to late-season diseases. It stores well for an early variety but is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate its flavour and texture.
