Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong. I grew potatoes for the first
time this year. For Earlies I planted Rocket, and for Maincrop used King
Edward. Both types produced wh\t I considered decent looking spuds in
reasonable quantities, but when I tried to ccok them they were bopth
terrible. Both varieties turned to a mushy pulp when boiled, but both were
ok when chipped. What did I do wrong?

K.E.'s are supurb to saute`. Peel, slice and boil or microwave [1] but only
for 6 minutes, dab with kitchen paper. Fry in oil (I prefer sunflower) on
med/high, turn over and reduce to medium heat' until golden-brown.
[1] 6 mins in microwave would be ok for one lb of spuds.
