Floury spuds
Big lump of real butter
Salt
Tiny pinch of white pepper

..........Heaven

Franz Von Peppercorn II · 13-07-2019 12:05PM

This is an incorrect opinion, op.

branie2 · 13-07-2019 12:13PM

I like them as well

Potential-Monke · 13-07-2019 12:23PM

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 · 13-07-2019 12:27PM

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 · 13-07-2019 12:29PM

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.

dxhound2005 · 13-07-2019 12:57PM

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.

branie2 · 13-07-2019 01:20PM

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.

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 13-07-2019 02:56PM

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 · 13-07-2019 03:10PM

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.

Boom_Bap · 15-07-2019 12:51PM

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

Larbre34 · 15-07-2019 01:55PM

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

Former Observer · 15-07-2019 03:10PM

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

Floury shpuds are great.

Fluoride shpuds. Bit undecided there.

JohnnyFlash · 15-07-2019 04:28PM

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