SKIN COLOUR / TEXTURE: Very light brown to pink, thin, smooth with shallow eyes. Peeling the skin is not a feasible option because of the variable shape. Pink Fir Apple is a common variety of potato and is widely available online, from garden centres and diy tores. A couple of our recommended suppliers include Suttons and Crocus. We normally scrub them with a brush prior to cooking. The skin is not thin but is quite edible. The flesh is pale yellow and waxy even though this is a late maincrop. When harvested, expose them to the sun for a couple of days and the will store for two or three months.
