Experience the unique taste of Jersey Royal Potatoes grown using traditional farming methods perfect for daily home cooking meals.
The famous Jersey Royal is grown by our committed group of island farmers, many of whom are fourth or fifth generation. Although modern technology is used where appropriate, our dedicated growers continue to use some of the most traditional methods that have developed over the last 125 years. Each Jersey Royal is planted by hand with many from the steep south facing slopes being harvested by hand too.
A number of the sandy fields still have seaweed spread on them to add nutrients to the soil and add to the flavour of the delicious Jersey Royal. This unique potato can only come from Jersey. It has a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), similar to other distinctive foods and drinks, such as Champagne, awarded in 1997.
Great for boiling and sautéing.

Keep Refrigerated. Wash potatoes before use. Simply scrape the skin or rinse under running water. Place in a pan of cold water. Bring the boil and then gently simmer until tender (20-25 minutes). Tip to serve try with sea salt, a sprig of mint and a knob of butter. Try steaming instead of boiling - it keeps in more flavour.
Potatoes bruise easily, so handle them with care. At home refrigerate them for freshness.
