Potatoes

In my opinion all baked potatoes need lashings of butter, as do mashed.

I find Maris Pipers good.

Always use a king Edwards for baked potatoes when I can get hold of them, good substitute is a Maris piper, fancy one for lunch now 😂

Surely the point of baked potatoes is to have lashings of butter!

To my mind, the difference is using organic potatoes. They have so much less water in them.

I love Maris Pipers, I only ever buy those, unless I'm buying new potatoes. I find they are good for everything, roast, baked, mash. I think baked potatoes need something to enhance them whether it's butter, grated cheese or something else.

Sainsbury's Vivaldi baking potatoes are excellent, they don't really need butter.

I like baked sweet potatoes best.

Another fan of Maris Pipers. We don’t seem to see King Edwards. And yes, Momb, baked sweet potatoes are very nice 👍🏻.

Thank you, I have tried Maris piper, I am not sure if the ones I have had previously are either Egyptian or Cyprus cannot seem to find them in shops .

I buy Maris Piper in Asda.
King Edwards are a good all rounder, I used to like Desiree but they don't appear often and the last ones I bought were different to how they were years ago.

Saxon makes a lovely jacket potato. I hunt them down especially for baking.

Marfoni potatoes are my choice, although I don't think they are available everywhere. I had never heard of them before I came to live in the Midlands. I am without this winter as my usual farmshop haven't got them, apparently the farm had a problem with the crop and I haven't seen them for sale anywhere else recently.
