Northern Ireland’s potato harvest of 2022 is of good quality, says Wilson’s Country managing director Lewis Cunningham. “While we enjoyed prolonged sunshine over the summer months, the potatoes growing in the fields also experienced the heat too but without the benefit of any sun cream. Because it was so warm and dry for several weeks it’s fair to say some crops didn’t grow and yield as well as expected because of a lack of water.
“However, the eating quality of the potato is fantastic and we can all look forward to enjoying floury potatoes with exceptional taste and flavour over the coming months.”
Kyle Greer, the Executive Chef at Belfast’s Europa Hotel, concurred: “We serve potatoes with every meal setting of the day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. They are an integral part of the food service that we offer. The quality of this year’s crop is truly excellent: very floury and filled with taste. Customers coming into the hotel over the coming months will be in for a real treat.”
