At the supermarket today, I noticed just how many different potatoes there seem to be for different things e.g. those that mash, those that roast etc and although I have always known that “new potatoes” are much better for boiling than roasting it always seemed that “old potatoes” could be used for anything – how wrong I must have been for so many years! So today, I have bought Maris Piper potatoes for roasting and chipping (well they’ll be roasted in this house – I’ve never made chips from scratch!) and we will see how superior they are to my normal “white old potatoes”. Watch this space.
I have also decided to put on my blog that I am using for my A to Z challenge as I realise when I am following others on wordpress if they follow me back they will come to this blog and wonder what on earth I am thinking of being already up to the letter “P”!!!! So if that is you then please journey over to the dark side and see what I am actually doing in the challenge at: http://pempispalace.blogspot.co.uk
Hopefully see some of you there.

Hello!
I’m with you. I always thought a potato was a potato, other than red or white.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. (Bread and Butter Days)
