Every Spud Counts: Quick & Easy Wonky Potato Recipes
Not every potato is the right shape or size for supermarket shelves. Some grow a little smaller, a little wonkier, but they’re just as tasty and just as carefully grown. We’ve recently rescued a batch of Tiddlers potatoes, that were a little too small for the main supermarket shelves.
These potatoes come from hardworking farms and would normally be left behind or go to waste. By rescuing them, we’re making sure good food doesn’t get thrown away and helping you make delicious meals for less.
Whether you roast them, boil them, or smash them, these little potatoes are here to inspire your cooking, by creating family-friendly favourites that don’t cost the earth.
