About British potato

British potato refers to potatoes grown in Britain, not to one specific variety. Potatoes are commonly boiled, baked, roasted, mashed or fried; the best texture for a preparation depends on variety and storage as well as cooking method.

The edible tubers vary in size, shape and skin and flesh colour. Their texture after cooking can be waxy or floury, and flavour is generally mild and earthy. They are sold fresh in different varieties and grades; the geographic descriptor alone does not identify a particular cultivar.
