We have spent a lot of time trying to find the equivalent of the delicious Italian yellow waxy potato that is sold in every greengrocer in Tuscany. A few varieties come close, and they are available in shops and supermarkets.

Linska is grown for us by one of our suppliers, and is a large yellow, oval-shaped potato that we use in late summer for slicing and baking with sage or pancetta, or balsamic vinegar and red onions.

Roseval is a French potato with a red skin and yellow waxy flesh streaked with pink. It too is good for slicing and baking. Often kidneyshaped, the larger the potato the better the flavour.
