    I'm on my own so don't use a lot and found they were going off so have started buying the tins of baby potatoes at Tesco for 16p

    Drained weight 345g
    So does that work out about 50p a kilo

    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Lidls XXL sack at £3.75. They have been fine for roasting and making mash potatoe.

    Much better value than Tesco.

    The one I buy are probably not the cheapest (don't even remember the price) but I like the quality - good for frying and boiling. Sold in TESCO, from Cyprus, they have red clay all over it. And it's like new potatoes - you don't peel, but scrap it. he only trick - don't buy a lot, otherwise the skin hardens.
