Up-to-date potatoes are often used in curries and stews.
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, an Up-to-date potato 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.
That same quality also makes it an excellent choice for soups, including a creamy potato and leek soup.
