Distinctive for its appearance, which somewhat resembles the clownfish in Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo, the Nemo potato can cut cooking time without sacrificing taste, according to Tesco.
What do you get when you mix a starchy vegetable and a cartoon fish? The 'ultimate roasting spud', of course. It may sound like the start of a bad joke, but demand for the hybrid Nemo variety of potato has seen a boost in the amount being planted. Distinctive for its appearance - reddish-pink skin with yellow patches - the potato was named after the clownfish in Disney Pixar's Finding Nemo.
'The potato is considered a game-changer not only because it can slash cooking time compared with the average roasting spud, but also because of its wonderful creamy taste, rich fluffy texture, crisp outer skin and distinct golden colour.' Branston said it has plans to further increase availability of Nemo over the next few years, with the hopes it could join the King Edward and Maris Piper as the go-to spuds for roasting.
