My wife does roast potatoes superbly, light golden colour, crisp and

Just like SWMBO'd produced this year with supermarket potatoes...

I was instructed to buy Maris Piper which I did. The variety of spud in
"White Potatoe" bags from supermarkets can vary from week to week and may
or may not be variety that roasts well...


There is no telling what they will taste like either. Same with the
local farm shop. Maybe there's an FAQ for spuds somewhere?
