Whole Tuber

Whole potato tuber as a cut label means intact potatoes selected for even size—ideal for jacket baking, boiling in skin, and uniform roasting. Skin-on cooking protects flavour and nutrients near the surface. Scrub well; prick for baking. Choose similar sizes so a batch finishes together.
