A favourite English potato grown since the 1960s, Maris Piper is a purple flowered maincrop potato and is one of the best known and most popular varieties on sale today. More Maris Piper potatoes are grown than any other variety in the UK. 
 
The Maris Piper has a golden skin and creamy white flesh with a fluffy texture.  This makes it a versatile all rounder, great for chips and roast potatoes, but also good for mash and wedges. We love roasting these potatoes at home on a Sunday with a bit of duck fat - that sees me off to sleep on the sofa in front of a movie!
