Title: stored potato problem
Post by: shirlton on January 27, 2010, 11:27:25
We have just finished eating our potatoes that were stored. They have been amazing.Nadine came top then Sante. Maris Piper were ok but towards the end of the sack we started to get some dark patches that were only noticable after cutting the potato up. If cooked then the dark area was very hard.(As ower Tone had to get that one he felt that he had to complain). The other parts of them were ok. can anyone shed any light on this problem
