Delicious "new" potatoes

We’ve finally found the most delicious potatoes we’ve eaten for years… La Grenaille…

I’m sure many of you will know them well… but they escaped our gaze until the other day…

I’ve kept a bit of the label, so I can make sure to buy them again…

Steamed, then turned in butter and sprinkled with black pepper… wonderful…

I’m sure there will be other similarly delicious ways of cooking them…

I look forward to my new potatoes from the garden every year…

Petites rattes du Touquet are nice. I can’t grow potatoes here - solid clay soil.

Black dustbins!

Of course… home grown is always best… :relaxed: what varieties do you prefer…??

FiLaw used to do that… after they “down-sized”… he missed his veggie patch so much… :upside_down_face:

Mona Lisa first choice…followed by Bintje (sp)

They’re not always easy to find but “Noirmoutier” are absolutely delicious, have very few blemishes and keep very very well. Look out for them and let us know what you think…

By the way on the subject of food, this is a good way of keeping the younger members of the family usefully occupied during confinement:

I bought Ratte seed potatoes, hoping they are similar to tge pink fir apple potatoes I grew in Scotland. Time will tell.

Not that different. Both waxy and useful in salads.
