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 Cook them a different way? Cut into thickish slices and put in a casserole with e.g. chicken pieces & onions, garlic etc? Yes, Sacha. That works. I tried 2 ways, oven and slow cooker, the slow cooker worked but only after 10 hours, thats fine with me. The oven method was on for over 2 hours and still hard as nails. Snag is that when I dig all of them I will have 2 or 3 X 25kg sacks of them. Thats alot of slow cooking time. The good thing is that they are not going to mushy in the casserole. as happens with "normal" potatoes. I always like my casserole the next day, when it has had time to "mature". Thicken up a bit. Thanks for that info, Sacha Baz Glad that worked! I wonder if you can enjoy yourself making lots of different casseroles and then freeze them against the coming winter? It might work for things like Dauphinoise potatoes too, where the potatoes are sliced very finely but you'd need to leave off the cheese topping until you thaw and re-heat. I'd think any dish where you can slice or grate and cook then freeze would be one way of using them up. And then you could try storing some to see if that does work. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
