Kipflers are some of the best potatoes in my opinion, they’re starchy with a yellow centre that is almost buttery and they’re slender shape makes them suited for baking whole to achieve crispy skin. All you need to do to them is wash them thoroughly, boil them, toss them in spices and roast them. This dish looks elegant on the plate and is a great side for a roast dinner or any protein-heavy meal.
Kipflers can sometimes be in short supply and if that’s the case a good substitute would be chat potatoes or sebagos, just keep the skin on and remember that they might need a slightly longer boiling time due to their rounder shape.
