Have you ever gone to the supermarket and scratched your head at the different types of potatoes on display? Senior cuisine lecturer Andrew Summers from Le Cordon Bleu Adelaide has some great advice ...

Other early potatoes, including waxy salad varieties, start to appear in May. Duke of York (1942) come into season in September and last through to April, but the main potato season begins in October.

It is unusual because it is the only potato to show red ... the texture is floury and the flavour quite delicious. An unusual variety that was first bred in Scotland in 1919.
