Tesco Finest* Potatoes Review

Having been asked to Test these potatoes as part of the Orchard at Tesco community.  I was sent through a voucher so I could try it for less than normal price and given some vouchers to share with my friends and family.

Went shopping with my little girl (age 6) to get these potatoes and ended up buying two bags one because of the purple 'kisses' that patterned them and the other because 'the elves must eat them if they have that name'. Lol! (I love the minds of children)

Firstly I made oven roasted jackets with two Elfe and two Blue Belle's. Hardly any butter was needed on either and my daughter describes hers as strong, buttery and soft. They were both very nice although the Belle took longer to roast that the Elfe although they were all the same size. 

Day two I dished up chilli and garlic sautéed Belle potatoes, that were delicious and complimented the gammon and veg brilliantly - even my two almost teenage boys that can be really fussy with potatoes wolfed down the lot. 

 With the rest of the Belles I have made a shepherds pie for dinner tonight, they boiled quickly and mashed lovely and with just a tiny salt and butter tasted devine - I can't wait for dinner tonight. That leave us with two Elfe potatoes, oh the possibilities....  Will defiantly be buying again.

My sister only has a tiny local Tesco so I brought two packs from my store and took them to her house to accompany our Sunday roast. The dinner was amazing, the potatoes were so nice, they parboiled quickly and roasted perfectly. Crunchy on the outside whilst soft and flavoursome on the inside. And what made it even better was that they were on special offer for only 99p per pack and with the vouchers we had enough to feed 10 people for the bargain price of 98p. 

 Well done Tesco!
