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.

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.CAROLUS
Carolus potatoes have a versatile cooking profile, excelling in boiling, mashing, roasting, and baking due to their high dry matter content and excellent flavour.

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.

CAROLUS
Carolus potatoes have a versatile cooking profile, excelling in boiling, mashing, roasting, and baking due to their high dry matter content and excellent flavour.
