Flavour pairings
- Rosemary, thyme and garlic
- Butter, chives and sour cream
- Mustard, vinegar and herbs for warm salads
- Leeks, cheese and smoked paprika
Preparation
- Waxy potatoes hold their shape for salads and boiling; floury potatoes suit mash and crisp roasting.
- Start boiled potatoes in cold, salted water. Dry them well and roast on a hot tray for crisp edges.
Storage
- Store in a cool, dark, dry place, not the fridge, and away from onions. Discard any that are green or heavily sprouted.
Substitutions
- Sweet potatoes, parsnips or celeriac can replace potatoes in roasting and soups, with different sweetness.
- Swapping between waxy and floury types changes the texture.
