Hello All

Please can anyone tell me why every potatoe I dig up and cook ends up going to mash or even boils away in the water. This applies to all the verieties I have tried. I have also tried steaming them and cooking them on a very low heat.

They still end up being a mashy pulp which is useless.

Kind Regards

Richard

Welcome to the site Bladerunner 

I'll move your post over to the Cooking Storing Preserving section as that's what it's about    Feel free to pop back into the Welcome forum to introduce yourself and get a proper welcome.

There's been a thread on your question recently.  The general consensus is that this happens when cooking them too long, particularly when boiled (though I notice you say you've tried steaming them too). 

Newly dug spuds take less time to cook than those a few days old.  Try cooking them for less time, or leave them a few days before cooking them.
