Preparation and Usage

  • Wash before use.

    Hob

    For boiled: Peel potatoes and cut into evenly sized pieces. Place in saucepan with just enough cold water to cover and add salt if desired. Cover with lid, bring to boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and serve.

    For mash: Follow the instructions for boiled. After draining return pan to warm hob for 1 minute to dry. Add milk, butter and seasoning according to taste. Mash until creamy smooth and serve.

    Deep Fry

    For chips: Peel potatoes and cut into chips. Place in a bowl of water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch. Drain and dry thoroughly. Place chips in preheated oil at 190°C (to test temperature put a chip in the oil. If it floats and sizzles the oil is ready). Deep fry for 5-6 minutes until chips are golden. For best results use sunflower oil and do not overload pan.

    Oven

    For roasts 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6: Preheat oven. Pour 2-4 tbsp. sunflower oil into a roasting tin and place in oven. Peel and cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces and parboil for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly to remove excess water. The potatoes will turn out crispier if you let them dry off. Shake in pan to roughen surfaces of potatoes. Carefully transfer potatoes to hot roasting tin. Turn in the oil and season. Return tin to top shelf of oven for 55-60 minutes, turning potatoes occasionally until golden and crispy.

    Why not try?

    Twice-Cooked Chips ~ Serves 4

    The secret of good chips is to cook them more than once. Once on a low heat for fluffy centres and twice on a high heat for crispy outsides. You will need a deep pan.

    Ingredients:

    8 x Large Maris Piper potatoes

    Sunflower oil

    Flaked or coarse sea salt

    Method: Peel potatoes and cut lengthways into roughly 1cm / 1/2 inch slices and then cut into thick chips. Soak in a bowl of cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch and help ensure even cooking. Heat oil in a deep pan to 130°C. Use a cooking thermometer and check temperature regularly. No thermometer? Place a raw chip in the oil - if it floats the oil is hot enough. Alternatively, use an electric deep-fat fryer heated to 130°C. CAUTION: Hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended. Add chips to oil for 8-10 minutes, remove when crisp - not brown. Dry on kitchen roll and cool in fridge for 30 minutes. When ready to serve, reheat oil to 180°C and cook for 5 minutes until crisp and golden, drain and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

Can't remember when we last had a bag of Maris Pip

2 stars

Can't remember when we last had a bag of Maris Piper that wasn't fulll of black bits. Eyes sprouting within 3 or 4 days of buying them.

I Love them, particularly when making roast potato

5 stars

I Love them, particularly when making roast potatoes. They make the potatoes so crispy and not oily

Appalling.

1 stars

Absolutely appalling. Several potatoes in bag went rotten within 3 days - leaked foul smelling fluid all over my cupboard.

the quality is down the tubes .

1 stars

These potatoes look as though they have leprosy! How Tesco gets away with selling these as fit for human consumption I don't know. Full of disease, growths and God knows what else. The quality control of Tesco vegetables is appalling I.m disabled so cannot get to the real greengrocer .otherwise I'd never buy this rubbish.

Was a bit annoyed as the last couple of these on m

2 stars

Was a bit annoyed as the last couple of these on my order were Full of black mould marks all the way through as if they had been stored somewhere damp , they were always of good quality but not now for some reason.

What has happened to these potatoes. Have thrown

1 stars

What has happened to these potatoes. Have thrown half the bag away - bruised all the way through - eyes etc. How long are they being stored for.

Good experience with these spuds

5 stars

I have read a lot of negative reviews about this product. However, I have found them to be reliable and tasty. I use them for duchesse, boulangere, as well as french fries and as mashed, for example on shephereds pie, and all seem to work well. I have never had them go off - so clearly the picking and packing must vary between stores. It takes all sorts to get a proper sample.

BEWARE. POOR QUALITY

1 stars

What can I say to add to the other reviews, obviously Tescos turn a blind eye and do not take a blind bit of notice of these revieews, because I also was disgusted with my last purchase of Maris Piper, such a shame because they are or should I say were a good all rounder. Quality control are to blame, why or why are these diseased potatoes purchased in the first place and not checked by Quality control or are they? but Tescos think we will buy because of need that saves them throwing them out. Something is definitely not right to go on sooooo long. .

Good Quality and Value

4 stars

After reading comments I was alert to complaints but was pleasantly surprised to find good quality this week and Aldi Price Match value. Perhaps rather too many smaller potatoes in the bag.

Waste of money, so many had to be discarded

1 stars

The last two deliveries these potatoes have been full of black areas, had to throw lots away.
