Blackwood Gold

Excellent for roasting in the oven or air fryer.

Daisy

Similar to Blue Moon, these are extremely versatile in their culinary applications. They are reportedly great for baking, mashing and frying.

Fontane

Generally used for French fries or chips but is also suitable for mash.

Midnight Pearl

They can be used in almost any application. They can be roasted, boiled or mashed. Their starchiness lends itself to gnocchi, but I would like to showcase their nuttiness in a soup.

Blue Moon

They are versatile for any cooking method but come into their own for baking, gnocchi and wedges. With the skin on, they make great wedges, tossed in oil, a seasoning blend and baked until golden.

Epic

Mash, roast or fry. When roasted, they turn a golden colour with a crunchy exterior. They also lend themselves to a fluffy mash.

Kestrel

You can use the Kestrel salads and stews, fried, baked, boiled and mashed.

Pink Fir Apple

You can use the Pink Fir Apple potato just like kipflers. They can be baked, roasted or boiled and make a superb salad potato. The Pink Fir Apple is more robust than a kipfler and also lends itself to being grilled on the barbecue.

Chat (Maris Piper)

Traditionally, Maris Piper has a reputation for being an excellent roast potato. More details will be provided when I review the Maris Piper potato. As a chat it can be used steamed, boiled or baked whole. Being a Maris Piper Chat it would great make smashed potatoes.

Exton

They are classified as starchy potatoes and lend themselves to baking, roasting, and frying. The new seasons are on the lower end of starchy, with a great flavour, they are also good to steam or microwave.

Mayan Twilight

They are a nice potato to bake or roast. They are also reported to be suitable for steaming with the skin on. Although they break down quickly when boiled without the skin on, I have found the resulting mashed potato sublime.

Purple Sapphire

They can be steamed or boiled and used in salad. They can bleed slightly, colouring a dish, but that can be part of their charm. The deep purple is great for a splash of colour.
