Andes (or Andrean) sunrise potatoes

I got some potatoes in Asda a couple of months ago.
They were called Andes (or Andean) sunrise (or sunset) potatoes.
The flesh was VERY yellow, they were gorgeous:D They just looked nice, they looked all buttery before any butter was even added.
I will buy any white pots (don't like reds), I thought they were all the same, but these WERE different.
I've looked for the since, but no luck.
I've googled them, but no joy either.
Anyone had or heard of them?
Anyone know anywhere else that sells them?

I am from Argentina, and always thought it funny how white potatoes are over here

You could grow your own http://www.dobies.co.uk/Shop/Potato+Sunrise+-+3kg+440025.htmTOP MONEYSAVING TIP
Make your own Pot Noodles using a flower pot, sawdust and some old shoe laces. Pour in boiling water, stir then allow to stand for two minutes before taking one mouthful, and throwing away. Just like the real thing!0 -
I have never seen or tried the potatoes you mention, but you could try Vivaldi potatoes as an alternative. Sainsburys sell them, and in my opinion, they are very good. Very buttery when used as stand alone mash, or topping for shepherds pie. Not so clever, when roasted (I prefer good old reliable 'King Edwards' for roast).We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.0

I get the Vivaldis quite often (they are nice).
But these were way better;)0
