Can't find Desiree Potatoes!
Asked on 20 Aug 2022 by Simon01
Hello Lindsey. I have noted Delia refers to Desiree potatoes for certain recipes (jacket potatoes, courgette & potato cakes) but I can't source these in my neck of the planet. What is a good substitute? The two brands that seem to dominate are King Edwards and Maris Piper.
Many thanks.
Eileen
Hello Eileen,
Desiree are a good allrounder in taste and texture, but the British ones are probably not harvested yet.
Maris Piper or King Edward are a suitable substitute.
Kind regards
Lindsey
