Farmers Market - Potatoes

This might offend some people but this is my experience and if you are offended you should be looking to your own surroundings and asking why are things how they are?

It wasn't until I came to Australia that I found what a massive difference there is from the super market food to the farmers market and what kind of quality and variety there is different out there!

Solid example: We have a "Potato Man" who we go to, to buy potatoes! But they are all the same right? Right? WRONG. Potatoes are so much more then the common white varieties sold in supper markets and vary in color, texture, and flavor.

 Dutch Cream: Yellow flesh, one of the best potatoes ever!

Kipfler potatoes: Hard and waxy these long potatoes work great for long cooking and taste great! Great for things like salads

Pink Eye:

Royal Blue:

Kind Edward: (His favorite potato and one of my favorites!)

Nicola:

All of these are available at one area and range from $4.99 to $2.99 per kg that equates to $2.26 to $1.35 per pound.

These all taste and have different properties and are all useful in different ways! Once you have a dutch cream and a kind Edward side by side you'll never be wanting anything other then to have bags and bags of all these varieties instead of the common watery chat potatoes.

Trust me, give it a go!
