What it is
These are small, tender new potatoes grown in the unique soil of Jersey. They have a distinctive nutty flavour and a waxy texture that holds its shape well when cooked. Their small size means they cook quickly and are perfect for a variety of dishes. The thin skin is edible and adds to their appeal.
How people cook with it
These versatile potatoes are a springtime favourite, bringing a fresh taste to any meal. They are ideal for both simple preparations and more elaborate dishes.
- Boiled and tossed with butter
- Roasted with herbs
- Added to salads
- Steamed as a side
To prepare, simply wash the miniature Jersey Royals thoroughly to remove any soil. You can leave the skin on for added flavour and texture. For boiling, place them in a pot of cold, salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, usually around 15-20 minutes depending on size. For roasting, toss them with a little oil and your favourite herbs, then roast in a hot oven until golden and slightly crisp. They are also excellent steamed or added to potato salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger, floury potatoes, these miniature Jersey Royals have a waxier texture and a more delicate, nutty flavour. Their small size and thin skin make them cook faster and require less preparation, often not needing to be peeled.
Who it is for
Home cooks who appreciate fresh, seasonal produce and enjoy simple yet flavourful potato dishes will love these.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture. They are best used within a few days of purchase to enjoy their peak freshness.
