This trend of rolling obviously scrubbed potatoes around in soil to make them look more “rustic” wrecks my head

  1. Not sure they’re scrubbed, thought they just passed a conveyor with high pressure water.

    For the prices retailers are paying suppliers now, I’d be sceptical that anyone is adding another process to production such as this.

  2. I just wish they’d stop washing the feckin spuds in the 1st place. They stay way fresher for longer when they’re caked in the mud. Like, I’ll be washing them myself before use anyway…. same goes for carrots.

  3. Maris pipers come fairly unclean, like most bags from my days in the fruit market was unwashed. There get a rinse.
    Only spuds from outside of Ireland have to be properly cleaned.
