Desiree Potatoes

Desiree are potatoes that have been grown in the Netherlands since 1962. They have a smooth red skin and light yellow flesh underneath. The texture is firm and creamy, making them ideal for mashed potatoes or cooking in sauces. The potatoes are on the larger side, usually elongated and oval.

They can also be cut into wedges and fried, baked, or roasted, which is why the Desiree variety is sometimes used for fish and chips.
