Potatoes Reviews

If you want to try and grow something but you are not a very experienced gardener then you should try growing some spuds because they're proper easy to grow and don't take a lot of time up once you've planted the seed potatoes. I don't like gardening but think it's a wicked feeling watching something you've planted grow strong and I like growing ...  Read the complete review

"It's so easy; anyone can do it no matter how much space you have, a few seed potatoes in a bucket, a bit of compost and you are away!". These words filled my living room, spoken by the trustworthy Mr Alan Titchmarsh. Ok Alan, if it's that easy, I will give it a go! I am a complete novice gardener, but as I am getting ...  Read the complete review

I am fascinated by potatoes. They are such odd looking tubers, that grow in soil in the ground, yet put into the hands of a chef or so and they are transformed into an array of different types of yummy meals. Potatoes have been around for centuries, and are a staple food in many countries cooking. Potatoes can be grown in a ...  Read the complete review

In all fairness there's very little that I can add to the debate on the humble spud that has been so expertly expounded upon in the existing reviews. My particular favourite has to be Malu's typically robust write up and so my contribution in relation to Britain's favourite tuber is a little recipe for the weekend. While I'm currently ...  Read the complete review

In 1537, the Spanish ...  Read the complete review

I think potatoes are one of the best foods around! There are so many different and exciting ways they can be eaten, and even if you ate potatoes every day for a week, I can guarantee you will never have them the same way twice. My favourite way of eating potatoes is of course roasted with my lovely Sunday dinner. Although this is ...  Read the complete review

I'm going to tell you about how I have my roast potatoes as my Fiance is potty over them, he'd have them with anything! They are called Parliament potatoes, my Mum always cooked them when we had a roast dinner. First you peel and boil the potatoes as you normally would making sure they are well cooked, so a knife will easily ...  Read the complete review

The humble potato. Is it really so humble? Thousands of varieties are available, and only 80 are grown commercially (see the potato council website here : http://www.britishpotatoes.co.uk/potato-varieties/ ) I have to admit to being a little bit of a potato 'snob'. I like floury potatoes for my roast and baked potatoes, they ...  Read the complete review

I'm no expert on this humble & rather plain-looking vegetable by any means, but I do like to eat them! I don't know the difference between the Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes as I tend to buy the cheapest good-looking ones as we rarely eat them plain. The last time I bought some was 20th Oct on Tesco.com & they ...  Read the complete review

Hi All just looked at the information about growing potatoes in Buckets/Pots. I read an article somewhere and as per usual jumped the gun and didn't read the end bit so did not know when my bucket grown potatoes would be ready to harvest. Read this article and got all the information I needed. I am fortunate enough to have a free ...  Read the complete review

I have a strange bit of guilt concerning potatoes and onions. While I have no problem eating them when fresh, or throwing them away when mouldy, I can't do anything but plant them once they've started sprouting or I feel like a murderer. This, combined with forgetting about a bag of pickling onions, is why I now have a small row of totally useless ...  Read the complete review

I love potatoes, mash being my favourite way of eating them. On a holiday in Peru my husband and I agreed that we didn't much like the food except for the yellow potato soup and mash which were delicious. The flavour made us think the cooks had added cheese but were assured it wasn't so. As someone who loves cheese in my potato mash this was ideal ...  Read the complete review

Where would we be without potatoes? Roast dinners wouldn't be half as nice, sausage and mash would just be a plate of sad looking sausages and teenagers everywhere would have to exist without that student staple of baked potato and cheese. Potatoes come in a wide range of varieties, but the two main types are earlies and maincrop. ...  Read the complete review

What’s more, they are easy to grow. Infact, they grow whether you will them to or not! Potatoes were always a big part of our staple diet while we ...  Read the complete review

When John F. Kennedy visited Berlin in 1963, he said in German, “Ich bin ein Berliner” (I am a Berliner) which people liked a lot because a Berliner is not only an inhabitant of Berlin but also a kind of doughnut filled with jam. If the President of the US of A can confess being a food item, I can do the same, here is what I have to say: “Ich bin ...  Read the complete review
