Tasting notes from Food Writer, Sarah Jane Evans:
Shaped like a large egg, Premiere is a white-fleshed new potato that cooks to a cream colour. After cooking, the flesh has the capacity to crumble, but if left to cool it will firm up and slice easily. The skin stays intact after cooking. Once briefly cooled Premiere shows light earthy aromas, with notes of minerals.
In the mouth reflects the same style of mineral characters. The palate is full-bodied, full of flavour, balanced, very bright and fresh, with a clean sense of stones, and a lingering finish. The potato is initially firm to bite, and then crumbles easily. Its mineral purity makes it a good match to spiced and highly flavoured foods.
waxy potatoes: translucent, moist feel.
Stay firm and make great salad potatoes.
floury potatoes: brighter, drier feel.
Best for fluffy potatoes or mash.
