New potato varietyMmmm..... it looks like we will be getting a new, tastier potato soon! I must admit I find some of the varieties in the shops now to be quite bland.  What variety do you buy? I usually go for Maris Piper or King Edwards..... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/s...re/5412360.stm

I'm with you I buy the same mostly, mind you I have tried Asda's Cheapy ones from Norfolk and Suffolk recently and they were yummy - not sure what type they were x |

I'm terrible at potatoes . . . I just buy the 1st thing that comes to hand. I couldn't tell them apart if you paid me!!  The only ones I can readily differentiate are the baby new potatoes and sweet ones!!  |

Interesting link! I'm not familiar with any of the names mentioned so far, here I usually buy Yukon gold...yummy! Have never bought any of those blue potatoes...they might taste just fine but the color is so offputing...! |

You usually only see them in natural food stores, such as Whole Foods; the big nationwide chains like Giant & Safeway don't carry them, or at least not here in Washington. No wonder; I simply cannot visualize blue mashed potatoes . Although thery're supposed to be higher in antioxydents than regular ones....they're not for me!! |

They certainly don't sound very appetising!  |

Moli, I agree that the blue ones are barf-inducing, but Yukon golds are really tasty and not an awful shade of yellow...very pale. Don't know if you can get them in the UK, they've been around here foe years & very popular! |
