Fast-cooking potato on sale to save time on cooking Christmas roasts by 25%

Christmas prep is about to get easier thanks to a fast-cooking potato.

Named after the fish in Finding Nemo, the potato known as the Nemo is said to taste better than the Kingdxsfer Edward and Maris Piper.

The spud also cooks 25% faster which means you'll be saving a lot of time in the kitchen this festive period.

Dr David Nelson, who developed the carb, nicknamed it Dr Potato.

He said: "We were looking at a variety that would not only taste superb but would also save on roasting time."

Nemo, a cross between fast-cooking Peruvian variety Inca Bella and red-skinned salad spud Franceline, has taken six years to perfect.

It has been developed by Lincolnshire grower Branston where Dr Nelson is the agronomy director.

There is a limited stock of this variety which takes less water and fertiliser to grow.

But the good news is that it has just gone on sale in Tesco as its Finest British Roasting Potatoes.

Tesco customer Hannah Moseley said: "They taste wonderfully rich and buttery but are also light and fluffy on the inside."

"They're basically, perfect roasties."
