Red Foo Potatoes
IN SEASON

Red Foo Potatoes

Red Foo potatoes are one of the most distinctive potatoes in our range, with deep red skin, beautiful red-pink flesh and a rich flavour to match. The waxy-leaning texture make them excellent for boiling, steaming and salads, but give a little extra time and heat and it crisps up beautifully for roasting and frying. Best of all, that striking colour holds remarkably well through cooking.

Red Foo potatoes make an excellent roast potato, developing beautifully crisp edges while keeping its striking red-pink colour. Give it a little more time and heat than a high-starch variety to get the best crunch.

Red Foo potatoes takes beautifully to boiling. Its firm flesh holds together well and that striking red-pink colour survives the pot, making it as useful as it is beautiful.

Steaming preserves both the texture and the colour at their best. Serve simply with butter and salt and let the variety do the talking.

This is where Red Foo shines. Firm enough to hold its shape through dressing and chilling, with a red-pink flesh that makes a potato salad genuinely striking.

Red Foo potatoes can also be mashed. Its smaller size means a little more preparation, but it produces a smooth, flavourful mash.

  • Cut into even-sized pieces for consistent cooking.
  • Red Foo holds its colour remarkably well through cooking, so there’s no need to treat it delicately on that front.
  • For salads, cook until just tender to retain its firm texture.
  • For roasting and frying, give it a little extra time and heat to develop its best crisp finish.
  • The skin is thin and full of colour, so we recommend leaving it on.

Red Foo is a distinctive red-skinned, red-fleshed potato with rich flavour and a firm, waxy-leaning texture. Its colour holds beautifully through cooking, but there’s much more to Red Foo than its looks.

It’s excellent boiled, steamed and in salads, while a little extra time and heat brings out an impressive crisp finish when roasted or fried. Grown for us in Tasmania, with Red Foo now also planted in Ballarat.

Red Foo is a colour first variety, so it suits the dishes where the potato is meant to be seen.

  • Steamed sides
  • Boiled whole
  • Sautéed
  • Mash

Grown for us in Tasmania, it is one of the rare varieties whose colour survives the pot, arriving at the table as vivid as it left the ground.

Red Foo earned its name when a child described the oblong red potato as looking like a red foot, and the name stuck.

We stock it for the cooks who believe a potato salad can be the most beautiful thing on the table.

Red Foo is an unusual specialty variety with a rich flavour and impressive versatility in the kitchen. We first sourced it from Tasmania and quickly saw there was much more to this potato than its striking appearance. It’s now a firm favourite in our range, and we’ve recently planted Red Foo in Ballarat too.

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.
