Up-to-date potatoes are commonly used in stews and curries.
There is a reason the Up-to-date potato has remained a favourite in South African kitchens for generations.
When a curry needs a potato that absorbs every bit of sauce, or a stew calls for something soft and comforting rather than firm and waxy, this variety is often the first choice.
Known by many home cooks as a “gravy-soaker”, the Up-to-date potato is prized for its floury texture and high starch content.
Instead of holding a perfectly neat shape during cooking, it becomes tender and fluffy, soaking up the rich flavours of curries, stews and broths.
