Jersey Royal potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) — the PDO-protected new potato grown exclusively on the island of Jersey in the Channel Islands. Jersey Royals are one of the few British ingredients with a genuine protected designation, awarded because the combination of the island's maritime climate, its steep south-facing côtils (coastal slopes), and the traditional use of vraic — seaweed gathered from Jersey's beaches and dug into the soil as fertiliser — produces a potato with a flavour and texture that cannot be replicated elsewhere. The seaweed contributes iodine and trace minerals to the soil, and together with the mild, Gulf Stream-influenced climate, gives the potato its characteristic earthy-sweet, nutty quality.

These arrive with soil still on them, which is how they should be — the earthy coating protects the thin, papery skin during transit and is a sign that they have not been washed and processed. The flesh is firm, waxy and yellow, with a texture that holds together when boiled and a flavour that is concentrated enough to carry a dish with nothing more than butter, salt and fresh mint. Jersey Royals are a strictly seasonal product, available only during the spring harvest window. When the season ends, they are gone — there is no stored or year-round supply. This is the potato you buy because it is here now and will not be for long.

Origin: Jersey, Channel Islands (PDO)

Ingredients: Jersey Royal potatoes (Solanum tuberosum)

Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place and use within a few days. Do not refrigerate. These are new potatoes — they are not designed for long storage.

Rinse gently by hand under cold running water, using your fingers or a light rub with a pinch of salt to remove the loose soil. Do not scrub aggressively — the skin is thin, papery and part of the eating experience. Do not peel.

To boil: place in a pan of well-salted cold water with a sprig of fresh mint. Bring to the boil, reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes depending on size, until a knife passes through cleanly. Drain and allow to rest for 10–15 minutes — this firms the texture and improves the result. Serve warm with butter, flaky salt and chopped mint.

To finish in a pan: boil and rest as above, then halve and place cut-side down in a hot pan with butter. Cook until golden and lightly crisp on the cut surface. The contrast between the crisp exterior and the creamy, waxy interior is worth the extra step.

To roast: halve or leave whole if small. Toss with olive oil and sea salt. Roast at 200°C for 20–25 minutes until the edges are golden. Finish with fresh herbs.

For salads: boil, rest, then allow to cool to room temperature. Halve and dress with a light vinaigrette, Dijon mustard, capers and fresh herbs while still slightly warm — warm potatoes absorb dressing better than cold.

Order Cut-Off Times & Delivery Date Selection

Our Delivery Service

We use reliable third-party express courier services and high-quality insulated packaging. While our couriers are generally excellent, occasional delays can happen. We pack everything to stay fresh, even if transit takes a little longer.

Time-Sensitive & Event Orders

Can we guarantee delivery on a specific day? Unfortunately not - we rely on third-party couriers and can't control their schedules. All items leave us in perfect condition with good use-by dates, but final timing depends on the courier.

If your order is for a specific event, let us know in the notes section at checkout. We can often dispatch a day earlier to give you the best chance of timely arrival.

DELIVERY Changes After Dispatch

Once dispatched, your package is with the courier and we're unable to redirect it or change delivery details.

Saturday Delivery

Saturday delivery is available, though please note our couriers don't operate phone support at weekends and our office is closed. For event-critical orders, a weekday delivery gives us more flexibility to help if any issues arise.
