Potato Lovers Potatoes for Roasting
Variety | Cooking | Pack Types |
These potatoes produce the perfect roast potatoes every time with that delicate blend of golden crunch and creaminess. Have you been disappointed with soggy, darker, brown-coloured roast potatoes in the past? This is because the amount of water in a potato affects its texture when cooked – too much water will produce soggy roast potatoes. Most potatoes have also been stored to maintain their looks but this method of storage turns the starch in the potato to sugar, producing darker, brown-coloured roast potatoes when cooked.
Potato Lovers Potatoes for Roasting are different. To guarantee you golden, crispy roasted potatoes with a fluffy centre we not only select those potatoes with the optimum water content, we also store them at a higher temperature. Their skins may not look the best but you won‘t be disappointed with the results – trust us.
