Beef and Smoked Paprika Casserole with Rooster Potatoes

This recipe for Beef and Smoked Paprika Casserole with Rooster Potatoes comes from Albert Bartlett (www.albert-bartlett.co.uk).

Albert Bartlett is Britain's leading grower and packer of potatoes. A family business for more than fifty years, they are fiercely committed to natural farming with minimum interference.

The whole operation represents a model of Integrated Crop Management and several industry accreditations have come the company's way as a result.

They not only agree planting, and agronomy with their growers, but also irrigation, harvesting and storage. They monitor insect activity to minimise the use of pesticides and use advanced technology to conserve water and lessen impact on the environment.

This is just one of a range of recipes created to take advantage of the Rooster potato’s unique texture and flavour.
