Potatoes

But this is not an irreversible trend and potatoes really do not have to be either bland or homogeneous. We grow our potatoes slowly, choose our varieties judiciously and encourage you to savour their flavour and not consign them to use as a bulking item on your plate. We work our way through a few different varieties as the season progresses, so look out for the name on your paper bag; consider their qualities and play to their strengths in how you cook them (see ‘identifying’). This book in the series focuses on the autumn and winter varieties; new and salad potatoes are covered in Spring and Summer Veg.
