Charlotte
Charlotte is a salad potato. With its distinctive long, oval shape, white skin and moist texture it is ideal for so much more than just salads. Scoring 4 on the waxy / floury scale Charlotte stays firm when cooked and can also be very successfully sauted and even roasted in its skin for a firm ‘roast’ potato. It is frequently sold washed and in bags or punnets which adds to the convenience value of this widely available potato.
Charlotte is suitable for:
- Roasting
- Boiling
- Salads
Charlotte potatoes are excellent for:
waxy potatoes: translucent, moist feel.
Stay firm and make great salad potatoes.
floury potatoes: brighter, drier feel.
Best for fluffy potatoes or mash.
