Unfortunately freshly dug potatoes do not make the best roasters. Next year try growing Golden wonder and store them until December. They are regarded by a lot of people as the best flavoured potato available, and make perfect floury/ crisp roasts.0 -

Depends on the variety - freshly dug floury potatoes like Kestrel do make great roasties; whereas the waxy ones never make good roast spuds.If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.0 -
