New potatoes in December??

I couldn't believe it but fell for them because they were grown in the UK and came with 50% free! How disappointed were we ... they took ages to steam yesterday even though they were tiny and they were still tasteless and hard.

Tonight I decided to roast them with herbs and sea salt ... they took almost an hour even though I cut them in half! And they were still pretty tasteless.

How do they do it?? I'm not sure I want to know ...

    Growing new potatoes for Christmas dinner is easier than you might think - you just need to plant them a little later. Some of the best new potatoes are grown from early and second early varieties, usually harvested in June and July. So, when planting in spring, save a few tubers for a later planting in June, and you could be reaping the rewards at Christmas.
