Potatoes.
Perfect for creamy mash. Carefully grown for their smooth texture and full flavour. Working in partnership with our trusted growers across the UK, our red potatoes are carefully chosen throughout the year to ensure we bring you the best tasting varieties at the right time. One of our growers, Alistair Priestley, grows potatoes just south of Lincoln, where the fertile, sandy clay soils provide a fine tilth to protect the rich, red skins of their potatoes. The smooth, waxy texture is ideal for making creamy mash.

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 20-25 minutes or until tender. Drain well before serving.

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.

Oven

For roast (200°C / Fan 180°C / Gas 6 1hr 5mins - 1hr 10mins: 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. All appliances vary, these are guidelines only.
