Golden Wonders are your man then, but they are fckrs to boil.

This is an incorrect opinion, op.

branie2

I like them as well

Potential-Monke

I'm with the OP on this one. Nothing better than a well cooked rooster spud. The father loves the floury ones too, wrecks the head. The only good way to eat floury spuds is to mash them with butter, salt and milk into a creamy mash.

AllForIt

Floury? Are they the ones you get in summer that you boil only and eat with the skins on with an equal amount of butter? YUM!

Golden Wonder Roulette ...
A millisecond too soon and they’re like snooker balls.
A millisecond to late and they’re like powdery snooker chalk ...

Potential-Monke

No no, they're the ones that explode out of their skin during cooking and are dry and flaky (to people that don't like them).

Never boil a golden wonder.
Steam them (or bake, as said).

Steam, no problem.

Golden Wonders are the best, but they are only available for a short part of the year. Queens and Kerrs Pinks are very good as well. As suggested, steam them and when they start to crack, finish them on a dry heat. Big ones can be microwaved for a short time, before being returned to the dry heat. This is slow food.

I steam all my spuds and veg.

You're now on the list, OP!:P

Dear God, man, head away off back to the mainland with your soapy spuds.

A TRUE GAEL will only consume Wonders or Pinks. And you can carry your Queens with you as well.

This is a floury spud country for floury spuds only.

On a more serious note, soapy spuds are going to be the cause of my marriage breaking down with herself buying Roosters (ROOSTERS!!) and calling them spuds.

'Sake.

They are great with butter

Just eaten one With lots of good Irish butter...

Flourly spuds and hairy bacon. Culchies will murder their mother for a plate.

I'm with the OP with regards to the new season "balls of flower" spuds. I grow several varieties and Pinks are great for storing in to the winter for mash, Maris Piper for chips, and Sharpes Express for boiled new potatoes in Summer. Dublin Queens, I find, are tasteless and I just don't like the floury texture.

ToddyDoody

Creamed potatoes or nothing.

I don't like soapy as the adjective here - but I know what you are on about and you are 100% correct.

Can someone clarify, are we talking about hemorrhoids in this thread, like as in using spuds as a codeword.

I adore a proper waxy spud. Any suggestions for varieties?

Former Observer

Desperate for floury spuds with butter after reading this. What variety should I be after?

I honestly couldn’t tell one spud from t’other

Mr. CooL ICE

Floury shpuds are great.

Fluoride shpuds. Bit undecided there.

JohnnyFlash

A big feed of bacon and cabbage with floury spuds is hard to beat. Served with a pint of milk.

This way people

Also, it's 'floury' spuds and not 'flowery' spuds.

All you strange people who claim not to like them? What are you thinking?!

Feisar

I’ve long pondered on the humble potato.

I’ve come to the conclusion that they are a drogher for butter and salt. And occasionally cream and scallions.

That’s Tan talk!

Had freshly dug spuds from the Garden on Saturday salt and a bit of butter, its got to be up with one the worlds tastiest foods and they are so easy to grow and no bother to cook no wonder people lived on potatoes.

There's nothing worse than those soapy potatoes from Israel/Cyprus!

You obviously haven't tried Lumpers yet. Blight resistant but utterly horrid spuds.

biko

Isn't it an amazing thing that people like different things!

IAMAMORON

I have taken to putting salt and vinegar on all my spuds. Floury, soapy, chippy , roasties etc . Once you start treating them like chips you will never stop.

Warning

Do not under any circumstances put vinegar into your mashed spuds mix, this is highly dangerous and should only be actioned by extremely experienced spud eaters.

Anyone who doesn't like the mediterranean spuds are obviously part of some sort of Irish Culchie conspiracy. The type of mucksavage that only has curry with chips and the like. Probably Fianna Fail supporters or something like that. Possibly from Cork or somewhere similar. Closet Ironicists.

mikeymouse

'Soapy' spuds are only any good in a stew , to soak up the meat fat,
like lamb in an Irishtew.

I eat my soapy spuds while sitting out on the veranda smoking a cheroot and polishing my monicle

Gimme A Pound

Floury spuds are the freshest. Those watery things are awful

Of course there are the in betweens too which are acceptable to this palate.

LirW

Nothing gives me more joy than seeing Irish lads and ladies having THE talk: what's the one true rightful heir to the spud throne.

It's true what they say about you on the mainland.
