I eat local potatoes from time to time and they are overall quite excellent. They are what Americans call new potatoes...great for potato salad etc. Chownah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farma Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I'm no expert on potatoes but I would say your friend is after a specific variety of potato rather than ones from Germany or Holland. Some varieties are good for French fries and others aren't etc. Maybe you could ask your friend if this is right and that may help finding a source for them.

thaigerd Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I guess your friend will make some potato products(european recipes) and can't use Thai potatoes cause they don't contain enough starch, right? Gerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcm Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 Ok, i'll try to get in touch with SIMONS in Jomtien , thx for the info. I wish i knew what this Guy is precisely doing with these potatoes....i'll meet him in the next days as i too would wish to know which Type of potato he needs. Just to put Country of Origin on it doesn't make the different Taste it has to be the right type too. Regardless, i still look for somebody who imports potatoes from Holland or Germany and i am sure this importer will also have a variety of potatoe Types avialable.... The Guy who needs the Potatoes isn't european but Thai-chinese so i don't think he will make parsley potatoe or austrian potato Salad with it..... thanks for the feedbacks , rcm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
