Potato Lovers Premium White Potatoes
Variety | Cooking | Pack Types
Most general purpose white potatoes are expected to be good all-rounders, but all too often appearance and price come before cooking and eating qualities. Potato Lovers Premium White potatoes are different. We choose only certain varieties of white potatoes for this pack, to maximise flavour and versatility.
For really great roast potatoes we would recommend our Potato Lovers King Edwards, and for superb mash or chips, our Potato Lovers Maris Piper is tough to beat. But if you aren't sure what dish you are going to prepare, try a pack of our Premium Whites!
