Cooking tip: If you leave Charlotte in the ground too long they tend
to fall apart when boiling, and they become quite floury.
If this happens, cook them in the microwave ( if you have one ), it
works a treat!

Bung the spuds in a bowl, add 6 tablespoons water per pound and a half
of spuds, cover, zap full power for 8-12 mins, stirring twice.

Regards,
