Enough about FOOTBALL. Which SPUD is the best for ROASTING

[The Birdman]

Jersey royal great spud

King Edwards and Roosters neck and neck in my eyes. Both streets ahead of the bang average Maris piper

Jersey royal great spud

Ah, the Andy Carroll of the Spud World. Good in the air ( flown in from Jersey) but overpriced for what it does.
Ps, And usually has a short season.

Some of these options are all well and good, but your Maris Piper IS your utility potato, the all-rounder of the tuber world.....

Growing your own is easy as well, nothing like going digging the treasure when the pipers are ready

Nah, Desiree are better!

We use King Edwards at the pub, just the job!

I follow a tip I heard on one of the Hairy Bikers programmes.

After par boiling the spuds and 'bashing' them in the pan sprinkle a little semolina over them - makes them incredibly crispy when roasted.

that's what I do and yes they come out very very crispy add in some garlic , herbs and salt and pepper and your away. I sometimes lob in some paprika too
