Pink Fir Apple potatoes are a very special breed. “In Victorian times they were considered an aphrodisiac,” says Andrew Dennis, who grows them for us in the Lincolnshire fens. This heritage variety is unique in many ways. For one, it has an exceptionally delicious nutty taste. “They also have a really funny, knobbly shape,” says Andrew. “Because of this, they must be picked by hand.”
Just as you'd picture traditional apple pickers walking through orchards with wicker baskets in which to carry their fruit, Andrew and his team tumble the gathered Pink Firs into little baskets, before being transferred into wooden crates.
