    The best ones for roasting are Edzell Blue, rolled in a little goose fat and put in a hot oven. ( do not parboil, they disintegrate).  They are exceedingly hard to get hold of, the Sarpo variety Blue Danube is similar and is also blight resistant.
    Maris piper is eelworm resistant and as a floury potato, is commonly used for chips, baking and roasting.

    The best tasting spuds on the planet are Soraya.  Sold by Tesco as baking spuds.  Only sold to commercial growers by the tonne so I buy from Tesco when they are on 'special', about 50p a pack.  Truly phenomenal tasting spuds that will store for months.
    We hang petty thieves and appoint great ones to public office.  Aesop 620-560BC.
    Nothing changes.

    I have grown Desiree and Romano for several years and found that they are very good for all cooking methods
