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

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...

We tried 6 different varieties from 3 different shops , including a Farm
Shop, and they all did the same, went very dark brown. Ours don't, no matter
what variety, and neither did our friends, both of us just keep them in bags
in a frost free shed.
This is not about variety or the cooking it's about the difference in how
they are treated professionally.

What I want to know is how do the professionals treat their potatoes,
weedkiller, cold store, gas, heat treatment, washing with chemicals, how?
What is turning the starch into sugar?
