Mitolo Family Farms has a delicious potato for every occasion.

Potato lovers, did you know that your favourite veggie is 80 percent water, 99.9 percent fat-free, contain vitamins B6 and C, and minerals like potassium, magnesium and phosphorus? In our eyes, they’re a super food — not just for their goodness, but for the million different delicious ways you can cook them up!

With crops in the Riverland, Mallee and Virginia, Mitolo Family Farms is Australia’s largest potato grower. Or in other words, they know how important potatoes are to Aussies and that’s why they’ve made shopping easier for us all with their three different varieties, so you can nail your ‘tatos every single time!

The Mitolo Family Farms range features three epic potato varieties, naturally produced and completely free from genetic modification (as are all their products). The Low Carb variety has 25 percent less carbs than the average potato and the skin is thin, so it can be left on, cutting down prep time. It’s a perfect, super tasty all-rounder, great for salads, mash and guilt-free roasting! Their Chipping Potatoes are best for chips, wedges or as a side to your Sunday roast. With a higher starch content, they get nice and crispy on the outside while still staying soft and fluffy on the inside! And finally, their Mashing Potatoes will give you the creamiest mash every single time due to the lower starch content — and are also excellent for the home chefs out there who are keen to perfect gnocchi.

Here are three classic potato dishes… with a spin. Enjoy!
