JERSEY ROYAL

Jersey Royal potatoes are small, uniform tubers that have a long, oval to kidney shape with smooth, rounded ends. The skin is pale yellow with light brown speckling and is very thin and delicate, sometimes giving the surface a flaky appearance.

Underneath the skin, the cream-colored flesh is dense, firm, and waxy with low starch and high moisture content. Jersey Royal potatoes, once cooked, retain a sturdy but tender texture and have a very sweet, earthy, and subtly nutty flavor.

The potatoes are of the variety known as International Kidney and are typically grown as a new potato. Jersey Royal potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant found in the tuber’s skin that can help strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation in the body.

The potatoes are also a good source of fiber to stimulate the digestive tract and contain some vitamin B, which supports energy production. Jersey Royal potatoes are best suited for cooked applications such as boiling, roasting, sautéing, and baking.
