  • Pink Potatoes!!

    Hi guys (& gals)

    I harvested some of my potatoe crop tonight and one variety is quite pink in places!!! I know there are potatoes called 'Pinks' but I'm not sure what variety these are...
    I was experimenting with some seed potatoes and then another batch which were Sainsburys own... just sitting in the cupboard a bit long.
    Theses ones I pulled tonight are the Sainsburys ones. Do you think they're all right to eat? I know you're not supposed to eat them if there's green on them but I've never heard anything about pink...
    BTW the seed ones turned out slightly bigger but a smaller yield than the Sainsburys

    All help greatly appreciated as usual.

    They are fine to eat with bits of pink on them. I think there are a few varieties with pink touches, the best known being King Edwards - brilliant for roasties. they are possibly what you had bought from the supermarket.

          Give them a wash, par-boil then roast in goose fat (or olive oil if you prefer) they are scrummy!!!

              Pink is fine, green is deffo not. Lots of varieties are pink/red and they're lovely. Do try and remember what variety they are when you plant them (Listen to her who's lost all the labels)

                  Well we had them for tea tonight, just boiled with a drop of butter, salt and fresh parsley from the garden... gorgeous....
                  I wanted to roast them in Olive oil with a bit of rosemary but the OH won yet again...
