SELECTING POTATOES

What should you look for in good potatoes?

• Choose potatoes that haven't got any cuts, bruises, green patches or shoots.
  
  
• Sometimes you may choose a smooth looking potato over a misshapen one and assume that it is a better product. This is not necessarily the case as some varieties characteristically have skins which are netted or have eyes in them.
  
  
• A potato does not have to look good to cook brilliantly!
  
  
• Keep in mind how you want to cook them - this certainly affects which potatoes to buy! Read the label; most growers will tell you how they will cook.
