Note re this week’s potato varieties:

VALOR Bred by Jack Dunnett from the CARA variety Valor is known for its delicious taste and versatility in cooking. It can be boiled, baked, fried, mashed, or roasted. It’s creamy texture and rich flavor makes it a popular choice for dishes such as mashed potatoes, potato salad, and roasted potatoes.

ROCKET
Rocket potatoes are a first early new potato with white flesh and skin normally suitable for boiling, steaming, and salads. However, at this time of the year the larger tubers are best baked especially in a microwave or for roasting or wedges.

ALOUETTE
Alouette is a versatile table variety and has gorgeous oval tubers with bright red skin and yellow flesh. Perfect for baking, boiling, chipping or roasts.

MARFONA
Marfona has a moderately waxy texture. It has a light brown or yellow skin and a yellow to cream flesh. Due to the potato having a strong flavour it is very good for use as baking, boiling and mashing.

ACOUSTIC
This is a second early variety with waxy, pale yellow flesh, good for salads and for boiling. When lifted later in the year, it becomes more floury and better for chips, mash, baking or roasting.
