A while back I'd never heard of him but the local supermarket started selling Rooster potatoes
They are now probably my favourites, I can make them go quite a long way and often if lucky the supermarket reduces the price. They cook quicker than most potatoes and are very soft so can be eaten as potatoes or mash.
They can also make a decent jacket potato.
I have yet to try them but yesterday(On special offer)I don't know what they usually cost but they were only 50p a packet there was a new variety on sale so I purchased a couple of packets.
The Apache potato is unusual in that they are(well the skins are, perhaps if peeled they are a normal colour)unlike the other potatoes they are red and purple. These are normal size so do not need cutting in half..
Some cooking tips(I assume these will work for any potato...)
122 Potato Facts
As we're talking food I see the Never Seconds blog is up and running and I think I could have eaten what was being served up today but if you look at the link there is something that seems not to work for me, perhaps it's just me but it just seems strange serving cucumber with gravy and unless it is hidden they only gave three slices. I would not have thought of putting it with lamb meatballs, diced carrot and turnip and mashed potato.

Just so long as you don't end up with a wattle Anthony! :D
We may all end up eating potatoes as the main part of our diet...remember the Potato Famine...
I don't say that lightly...
