Dirty Maris
Sold by the kilo, our Dirty Maris potatoes come straight from the soil with that natural earthy scent that only truly fresh potatoes have. The flesh cooks into a light fluffy texture that suits roasting, mashing or boiling. Stocked fresh each morning they hold their moisture and flavour wonderfully. Add some to your basket and bring real depth to your cooking.
OVERVIEW
Dirty Maris Potatoes Earthy Fresh Roots with Light Fluffy Texture
A Fresh Item with Real Character
Dirty Maris potatoes arrive with their natural soil still clinging to the skin which helps them keep moisture and flavour for longer. When you pick one up you feel the firmness that signals a potato harvested at the right time. Once cut the flesh inside is pale and smooth with a clean aroma that comes alive during cooking. At Gardners Patch we appreciate potatoes that behave well in the kitchen and Dirty Maris has earned a loyal following among our Bristol shoppers for exactly that reason.

Sourcing and Freshness
Dirty potatoes hold their quality better than washed ones as the soil protects them from drying out. Our growers harvest and send them directly which keeps the skins firm and the inside full of natural moisture. Once they reach our Gloucester Road shop every batch is checked by hand so customers take home roots that cook predictably and taste truly fresh. Bristol locals often remark on how much better they roast compared to supermarket varieties.
Storage Tips
Keep Dirty Maris potatoes in a cool dry space away from bright light. Thanks to their natural soil coating they store extremely well and maintain their fluffy texture for several days.
