buying tips

For best results be sure to select the potato type that best suits your cooking method.

Choose potatoes that have not got any cuts, bruises, green patches or shoots, but remember a potato does not have to look good to cook well. Some potatoes, by their very character can be misshapen with netted skins or eyes. Depending on the variety, a smooth potato is not always the better product.

Potatoes are available all year round. The many different varieties ensure there will always be a selection of the different textured potatoes available at any time of the year. You can buy new season potatoes from late August until February.
