Whole

Whole potatoes are unpeeled intact tubers for baking, boiling, or roasting—the least processed kitchen form. Even sizing and intact skin improve cookery and storage. Bake, steam, or boil until a knife meets no resistance at the centre. Finish with salt, fat, or a second high-heat roast for crisp skin.
