    Now don't get me wrong. I am a Norn Iron lass so I loooove a floury potato. I just bought a bag from a farm shop (25kg) and was so happy to find they are floury.
    Unfortunately my family don't agree. They hate them! When I mash them, I put milk in the mash to soften it a bit.
    Any good recipes/ hints out there for things to do which are relatively healthy, but mean that my spuds aren't as dry?

    Potato wedges, chips, fish cakes, pie toppings with cheese on.
  • I would have thought that floury spuds would make great roasties. What variety are they?
  • slice raw and layer with onions in an oven proof dish, cover with veg or chicken stock - whatever is your preference, and bake until cooked.

    Not a clue what the variety is. It doesn't seem to be marked on the packaging. They really are very dry. I can do roasties, wedges etc, but not everyday.

    JackieG, I have tried that before and it was horrible. No one would eat it. Don't know why, but it just tasted oniony and was quite watery. I might give it another try.
    Must go now as have lots to do and I have been lurking on here for ages!!! Will check in later and see all the lovely suggestions!

    You could always try a layered potato bake.
  • You could also use them for spanish tortilla :) I think I have a proper written down recipe for the potatoes, I'll see if I can find it, maybe you just need to sort your quantities?
