Description

Ratte Potatoes 1kg are 1kg of Ratte potatoes — the celebrated French waxy fingerling variety prized by chefs across Europe. La Ratte is an heirloom variety with a firm, waxy texture and a distinctive chestnut-like flavour. As a result, it holds its shape beautifully during cooking and suits almost any preparation. Furthermore, it is the preferred potato of many Michelin-starred restaurants across France and Britain.

About Ratte Potatoes 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Ratte Potatoes 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Ratte Potatoes 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.

How to Cook Ratte Potatoes 1kg

To get the very best from Ratte Potatoes 1kg:

  • Boil gently in salted water until just tender — start in cold water for the most even result.
  • Dress while still warm with good olive oil or butter, sea salt and fresh herbs for a perfect warm salad.
  • Furthermore, Ratte potatoes roast outstandingly — halve, toss in duck fat and roast at 200°C for 25 to 30 minutes.
  • However, do not overcook — their finest quality is the firm, waxy texture, which disappears if boiled too long.

Perfect Pairings

Ratte Potatoes 1kg pairs beautifully with:

  • Good butter, sea salt and flat-leaf parsley — nothing more is needed
  • Smoked fish, cured meats or aged cheese alongside
  • A light Burgundy, Beaujolais or a chilled Sancerre
  • Roasted chicken, duck confit or grilled fish as the main course partner

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place or refrigerate. Root vegetables keep well for several days after delivery. Furthermore, most roots can be peeled in advance and stored in cold water. However, use as soon as possible for the finest flavour and texture. Delivered fresh and ready to prepare.

However you prepare it, Ratte Potatoes 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality to the table that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, cooking with the finest seasonal produce is one of the great pleasures of the kitchen.
