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. Cheers Baz 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! Do you mean Maris Piper, or any hard potato? I have no problem microwaving large potatoes (MP, Marfona, King Edward, Osprey, etc) as a preliminary to baking in their jackets. A 300g potato will cook in about 17 minutes in a 750W microwave oven. It then gets around the same time in a conventional fan oven at about 220 - 230°C to crisp the skin. -- Jeff |
