I have some other varieties that are OK. but I have loads of Maris Piper.
I don't suppose there is anything I can do about it. It is going to be a
huge waste.

Some people on the allotment are going to store theirs hoping that a
bit of
coolness or whatever might sort it.

Should I write them off? Or store them in the unlikely event that this
would fix them.

Try grating them and turning into potato cakes or Rösti. Maybe try them
as hash browns.

Also, what happens if you microwave them (spear with a fork in several
places first!)?


I've always found the microwave ineffective for that kind of spud. The
roti sounds good though. Quite fancy that myself!
