Potato recipes
Roasted, mashed, boiled, baked or made in an air fryer… the list of ways to cook the humble potato is endless – here are some of our favourite recipes. They’re a staple ingredient in the kitchen, best stored in a cool, dark and dry place.
Floury potatoes like maris piper and King Edward are best baked, roasted or chipped as they can fall apart when boiled. Waxy potatoes like pink fir or charlotte are best eaten boiled or in salads.
