Our Potatoes
NICOLA
Nicola potatoes are a waxy oval shaped potato with a thin skin and cream/yellow buttery flesh. They are considered a great ‘all rounder’, suitable for use in a number of cooking applications including boiling, dry baking and roasting, and therefore make an excellent ‘every day’ variety. Great for mashed potato, gnocchi, potato salads (holding their shape after boiling), potato bakes.
PINK EYE
Pink Eye potatoes are very well-known and loved throughout Tasmania and get their name from the pinky/purple flushing on the skin and deep pink eyes. A beautiful waxy, creamy variety with a slighty nutty delicious flavour, Pink Eye’s hold their shape well after cooking making it a favourite choice for potato salads, or simply boiled and served whole with melted butter and a sprinkling of fresh herbs.
CANBERRA
With beautiful deep red skin and white flesh, Canberra’s have a medium starch content making them an excellent multi-purpose potato, being not too floury or too waxy. With an excellent flavour, they are suitable for roasting, pan frying and baking; making a magnificent choice for dauphinoise or potato gratin.
SPUDLITE
Spud Lite is a golden, creamy potato bursting with nutrition, that Daly Farm grow under licence in Tasmania. Spud Lite is super tasty and incredibly easy to prepare. Providing a light, creamy and non-earthy flavour when mashed and a crisp, crunchy, soft pillow texture when roasted or fried, it’s versatility makes it the complete all-rounder.
