Jersey Royal Tatties

[Hair Flick]

steamed and laced with butter you will not find a better tattie. Especially when served with English asparagus and loads more of butter. Bit of grilled dry cured bacon to go with it and you have a feast.

This lad knaas his onions.

Not at all.

Lincoln new potatoes are way nicer I think. Come out a little later in the year but far nicer tasting.

Lovely tater, I just wish our lass wouldn't boil them to a mush
New Potatoes should still have a bit of bite to them not be a soggy mess....

Noooooooooooooo. Jerseys are magic.

The beauty of Lincolns is they come second on the list and are available as the Jerseys are finishing.

Lovely little ones too , Aldi have had them on offer as well. Had loads this season - roasted some larger ones the other night and they were fantastic done that way too

Love them, and they should be served as simply as possible because it's really easy to swamp their lovely flavour.

Salt, pepper, butter, bit mint or chives if you must.

Topper.

They taste nowt like they used to do. I believe that its because they don't use seaweed to fertilize the fields anymore either that or I am just getting too old. Boiled with a bit fresh mint and served with butter is the only way to eat them anyone who says different is a "wrong un" .

I know this will probably invite some abuse, but, they taste the same as any other Potato to me.

Possibly also the fact that they are mass produced and rushed to market these days. If you cook them really simply - i.e. boiled or steamed with just a crack of sea salt and some melted butter, they still have that nutty taste to them, but it doesn't seem as intense as back in the day.

Also the skins don't seem as flaky as they did. Again this could be down to modern production methods where they are washed thoroughly so the loose bits of skin get washed off, taking some of the unique taste with it.

Jerseys, spring cabbage, smoked bacon and butter... BOOM!

Got a bit of beef in the slow cooker, just bought some Lincolns as we think they're better than jerseys. The sun is out, just poured our lass a glass of rose and me a dry white. Back garden is a sun trap, happy days.

Disagree about Lincolns and Jerseys, but enjoy your wine

Thanks I am mate. Lincoln's are more earthy and you don't even need butter. The missus has sliced them and put them raw into the beef juices.

Smaller ones at start of season are never as flavoursome as the ones at back end - it's the smaller ones that Aldi and Lidl have been selling and while they're lovely the taste gets more pronounced with the last crops

I'm wanting jerseys for tea now - got some in fridge but they don't really go with burgers ? Unless I make a potato salad with them - eureka

 

[black cat in france]

Noirmoutier is the pototo of choice over here, like Jersey an island,good soil and no pesticides used.NB Never keep your tatties in the fridge.
