Butter me up

- Mark Hedges

THANK you for the excellent article on potato varieties by Tom Parker Bowles (March 2). Lamenting overly sweet main-crop potatoes, a friend reminded me not to store them in the refrigerat­or, because the cold turns potato starch to sugar. Who knew? Here, in spring, we eagerly await ‘Pembrokesh­ire Earlies’—they certainly never make it to the fridge, being quickly boiled and devoured with lashings of salty Welsh butter! Sue Balsom, Ceredigion
