Frequently Asked Questions

Do different methods of cooking potatoes produce a different taste?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, for example some people make their mashed potatoes from baked potatoes hollowing out the cooked insides and they get a very dry almost roasted flavor. Boiling steams the potato and some of the nutrients are lost, especially if boiled whole. We suggest cutting into large chunks then boil. Microwaving keeps a lot of the moisture in the potato which can yield less potato flavor.

Why do my baby potatoes break up on cooking?

Potato Lovers – Serving up perfection
Without knowing which variety of potatoes you are using it is difficult to say for certain, but a number of baby potatoes available on the market are not true new potatoes but in fact small sized maincrop potatoes known as ‘mids’ in the trade. These mids have a higher dry matter than new potatoes causing them to burst on cooking.

Your potatoes probably suffer from being stored at too cold a temperature. Store potatoes in a dark, dry, well-ventilated area where the temperature is between 7 and 10?C. They can be kept for a few months. If this is not possible to do in your home, only buy enough potatoes for one or two weeks

What is the best method of cooking new potatoes?

Potato Lovers – Serving up perfection
I find that for the best results, new potatoes need to be cooked very carefully and slowly. Always put the new potatoes into cold water and then slowly bring them to the boil. Once boiling simmer them very gently so that the surface of the water is just breaking and when cooked your new potatoes will be bursting with flavour.
