It’s the time of year when we get really great potatoes from Kiwi. Later in the year it will be catch as catch can so now is potato time. I used to boil potatoes. Now I steam them. Just tones more flavor and better nutrition. Read more This only works if you can get new potatoes that are firm and blemish free. They also need to all be all about the same size, to cook evenly. Don’t even try this with second rate spuds. See less
