    I don't know the answer to your question I am afraid, but would you not find it more economical to source potatoes from a local farm shop if you have a decent one?

  • Not very useful if you're shopping at Asda but Morrisons have 12.5kg sacks for £3.50 (require peeling/scrubbing!).

    I have once bought a 10Kg sack from Asda, but hadn't seen them berfore or since (just before xmas). They were only £2 I think. Otherwise standard bags are up to 5kg, so much better sourcing them locally. I dunno if guys in trannys by the side of the road are mob related or not, I bought a sack off them once and they were ok.
