Choosing & preparing potatoes

How to choose

Match the type to the dish: floury/starchy potatoes (Maris Piper, russet) for fluffy mash and crisp roasts; waxy ones for salads and gratins that need to hold their shape. Avoid green or sprouting tubers.

Prep & storage

Store cool and dark, never in the fridge. Parboiling then roughing up the edges gives the crunchiest roast potatoes; soaking cut chips removes surface starch for crisper frying.

Nutrition

A filling source of potassium, vitamin C and resistant starch — most of the fibre and nutrients sit just under the skin.

Classic flavour partners: butter, rosemary, garlic, cheese, chives, black pepper
