The best potatoes I’ve ever eaten

- Laeony, Riverford customer

How to prepare

Layer with cream and garlic for potato dauphinoise, chop into chunky wedges or transform into fantastically crunchy roast potatoes. Leftovers mashed with grated beetroot or cooked greens make brightly-coloured bubble and squeak.

Storage

Keep new potatoes in the fridge and floury/all-rounder varieties in a paper bag somewhere cool and dark
