Maris Piper is one of the best known and popular potato varieties on sale, with more Maris Piper grown across the UK than any other variety.[6]
Like Desiree, Maris Piper is ideal for many potato dishes from chips and roast potatoes, mash and wedges. It is also a great favourite with fish and chip shops because it is so reliable. It has a creamy coloured flesh and although technically its skin is white to yellow in colour, it is regarded as a ‘white’ potato and is widely available. This is a Main Crop variety.[6]
