One of the best ways to use Prince of Orange. Its very waxy flesh holds together beautifully and simple cooking allows the flavour of the potato itself to come through.

Another excellent method. The dense texture stays intact while the deep yellow flesh and rich flavour remain the focus.

Prince of Orange is particularly good for salads because of its waxy structure and strong flavour. It holds together rather than breaking down and works beautifully in both warm and cold salads.

This should definitely have its own section. Despite being very waxy, Prince of Orange makes a beautifully rich, dense and creamy mash. The outcome is completely different from the light, fluffy mash of a high-starch variety, and that's the distinction the copy should make.

Its rich flavour and creamy character make it an excellent soup potato and this should be represented in the cooking methods.

Prince of Orange isn't generally a particularly large potato, so cooking times will vary depending on the size of the crop. Its waxy flesh holds together beautifully when boiled or steamed, making it particularly forgiving for salads and simple sides. For mash, expect a rich, dense and creamy result rather than the light, fluffy texture of a high-starch potato.

Prince of Orange is one of the specialty potatoes we really champion at Spud Sisters. Beneath its red skin is deep yellow flesh with an exceptionally rich flavour and a dense, very waxy texture.

It’s fantastic boiled or steamed, holds together beautifully in salads, brings plenty of flavour to soups and makes a wonderfully rich, creamy mash. It has also become a favourite with chefs at some of the top restaurants we supply, who specifically seek it out when it’s available.

For us, Prince of Orange is exactly what makes specialty potato varieties worth seeking out. It tastes distinctly different, performs beautifully in the right dishes and tends to win people over once they've tried it.

Prince of Orange is particularly loved by chefs at some of the top restaurants we supply, who value it for its dense waxy texture and exceptional flavour.

Prince of Orange is a Dutch-bred specialty variety, developed in the Netherlands in the early 2000s. Recognisable by its red skin and deep yellow flesh, it has since found a strong following among specialty growers and chefs for its distinctive flavour and waxy texture.


Prince of Orange's deep yellow flesh signals carotenoids, the same antioxidant family found in carrots, and its richly coloured flesh carries more antioxidant value than a plain white potato. A medium potato holds more potassium than a banana, supporting healthy blood pressure, alongside vitamin C and B6 for immune function and energy metabolism. It offers dietary fibre, especially with the skin left on, is naturally gluten free, and cooked and cooled, it develops resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria.

Prince of Orange is one of the varieties we really champion. Its exceptional flavour and beautifully waxy, creamy texture make it fantastic boiled, steamed, in salads, soups and rich creamy mash, and it has become a particular favourite with chefs at some of the top restaurants we work with.

My favorite potato! These blue moons are brilliant for roasting so crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. All they need is 35 mins sliced and they are perfect.

These potatoes were brilliant for wedges. I par boiled them and cooked them in the oven with just a drizzle of olive oil. I left the skin on them and they were rated very highly by my kids!

Haven’t used these potatoes before but pretty impressed. Made a very decent deep fried chips (nearly as good as a Yukon gold) , baked up well in my leek and potato bake. Absolutely worth trying if you get in fast.

I purchased some Maris Piper Potatoes from Spud Sisters after trying for a little while to find somewhere that sells them and has available stock. Spud Sisters were very efficient and I not only received my order promptly but it was also in beautiful well protected packaging which showed me this company really cares about its products and customers. I highly recommend this company if you are after fresh potatoes with very respectful and honest customer service.

CARE GUIDE

H o w   t o   s t o r e   y o u r   p o t a t o e s

Cool, dark and dry

A pantry or cupboard away from sunlight is ideal. Light exposure can cause greening and too much warmth accelerates sprouting.

Don’t refrigerate

Cold converts potato starch to sugar, affecting both flavour and texture when cooked. Starchy varieties are specifically sensitive to cold storage - so to keep the crisp and crunch you're looking for - keep them out of the fridge.

No sealed plastic bags

Potatoes need to breathe. The paper bag they arrive in is perfect or a breathable container.

Keep away from onions

Storing onions and potatoes together makes both deteriorate faster.

Shelf life

Fresh potatoes at the start of the season can keep for up to around 4 weeks in ideal conditions.

If it has a green tinge

Greening comes from light exposure and happens to any variety. Cut the green away generously and cook the rest; if it runs throughout, discard it.

When your order arrives

Open the box straight away and move the potatoes somewhere cool and dark. Minor transit marks are normal for fresh produce and don't affect flavour or quality.
