Potato, Seaside from Brittany, France (Organic)

The potato comes to us from South America. It originated in the Andes of Chile and Peru. It arrived in Spain in 1534. A little anecdote: In France, the population considered potatoes to be reserved for animals and unworthy of humans. To make potatoes accepted, Antoine Parmentier had them kept in the fields during the day but not at night, to arouse the envy of the peasants who then stoled the potatoes to eat them.

Cultivated along the coast, these potatoes are exposed to sea sprays and grow in a rich iodized soil. Their yellow flesh offer a delicious texture and flavour.

Thoses potatoes are very versatile. Their flesh makes them ideal for steaming. They can also be used in purée, soups, salads and of course for raclettes.

Store potatoes in a cool (ideally between 2 and 6°C), dry, well-ventilated place away from light. Put them in your fridge, for example. You can keep them like this for 3 to 4 weeks.
