OH doesn't like his mash with bits of skin either, but I do sometimes leave the skin on when doing chips. I know we shouldn't eat chips, but I still like them on Fridays with me bit of fish. The smell is lovely, just like baked spuds!

I did King Edwards the year before last and they broke up everytime I tried to boil them, and when I tried just steaming them too. Don't have a pressure cooker anymore!!!!!

When i'm ordering my seed potatoes i always check whether they make good chips, boiling etc....with D T Brown there's usually a little chart telling you what they are good for so you know. King Edwards are great bakers.

I'm growing this season....
