Discover the earthy, nourishing taste of freshly harvested potatoes, grown with care and delivered directly to your kitchen by Al Modina Halal Food. The potato is perhaps the most versatile vegetable in the world, serving as the backbone for countless cuisines ranging from Japanese and Indian to Western and Mediterranean. Our Fresh Potato 1kg pack is designed for the modern home cook who values quality, consistency, and freshness. Unlike heavily processed or pre-washed potatoes that may lose their shelf life quickly, our potatoes often come with a light dusting of soil or are lightly brushed. This "unwashed" state is a sign of freshness—it protects the skin and ensures the tubers stay firm and flavorful for longer.
At Al Modina Halal Food, we understand that a simple ingredient can make or break a meal. If your potatoes are too watery, your mash will be runny. If they are too hard, your curry won't thicken. We source potatoes that offer the perfect balance of starch and moisture, making them true all-rounders in the kitchen.
1. Premium Quality Assurance We select potatoes that are firm to the touch, free from large cuts, and uniform in size (approximately 7–10 medium potatoes per 1kg). This ensures they cook evenly, whether you are boiling, roasting, or frying them.
2. The "Earthy" Advantage You might notice a bit of natural soil on the skin. This is intentional! Keeping potatoes in their natural state until you are ready to wash and cook them helps preserve their nutrients and prevents premature sprouting. It locks in that distinct "farm-fresh" aroma that supermarket potatoes often lack.
3. Nutritional Powerhouse Often mistaken as just "carbs," potatoes are actually a nutrient-dense vegetable.
Vitamin C: Surprisingly high in Vitamin C, which acts as an antioxidant and supports immune health.
Potassium: Potatoes contain more potassium than bananas! This is vital for muscle function and regulating blood pressure.
Vitamin B6: Essential for brain development and keeping your nervous system healthy.
Fiber: Especially when eaten with the skin on, potatoes provide significant dietary fiber to aid digestion.
A 1kg bag of potatoes is a blank canvas. Here is how you can transform these humble tubers into gourmet meals.
The Perfect Mashed Fresh Potato For a mash that is fluffy and creamy, never gluey:
The Method: Peel and cut your Al Modina potatoes into even chunks. Start them in cold salted water (this ensures they cook evenly from the inside out). Boil until a fork slides in easily.
The Secret: Drain well and return the pot to low heat for a minute to dry out excess moisture. Mash with warm milk and room-temperature butter.
Result: A side dish that pairs perfectly with steaks, roasted chicken, or vegetable stews.
Authentic Indian Aloo Gobi & Curries In Indian cuisine, the potato (Aloo) is king.
Texture: Our potatoes hold their shape well even after simmering in gravies. They absorb the flavors of turmeric, cumin, and garam masala without disintegrating.
Recipe Tip: For a quick Aloo Curry, sauté cumin seeds, onions, and tomatoes. Add cubed potatoes and spices, then cover and cook until tender. Garnish with fresh coriander.
Japanese Curry & Nikujaga Japanese home cooking relies heavily on potatoes.
Japanese Curry: The starch from our potatoes helps naturally thicken the curry roux, creating that comforting, velvety texture beloved in households across Japan.
Nikujaga (Meat and Fresh Potato Stew): This sweet and savory stew requires potatoes that won't turn to mush. Our potatoes absorb the dashi, soy sauce, and mirin broth beautifully while remaining firm.
Crispy Homemade Fries Skip the frozen bag and make them fresh.
The Soak: Cut the potatoes into batons. Crucial Step: Soak them in cold water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess surface starch. This is the secret to fries that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
The Fry: Double fry them—once at a lower temperature to cook the inside, and again at a high temperature to golden the outside. Season with salt while hot.
To ensure your Fresh Potato 1kg pack lasts as long as possible, proper storage is essential.
The "Cool, Dark Place" Rule: Sunlight is the enemy of the potato. Exposure to light causes them to turn green and produce solanine (a bitter compound). Store them in a pantry, cupboard, or a cardboard box.
Breathability: Do not store potatoes in a sealed plastic bag. They need to breathe. A mesh bag, paper bag, or basket is ideal.
No Fridge: Never store raw potatoes in the refrigerator. The cold temperature turns the potato starch into sugar, which alters the taste and causes them to brown too quickly when cooked.
The Onion Rule: Keep your potatoes away from onions! Onions release gases that can cause potatoes to spoil faster.
Should I peel them? This depends on the dish! For mashed potatoes, peeling is standard. However, for rustic roasted Fresh Potato or wedges, leaving the skin on adds texture and increases the fiber intake significantly. Just be sure to scrub them well under running water.
What if my Fresh Potato has a sprout? Small sprouts can be simply cut away with the tip of your peeler. The rest of the potato is perfectly safe to eat. However, if the potato is shriveled and has many long sprouts, it is best to compost it.
Why did my potatoes turn pink/brown after cutting? This is oxidation (reacting with air), similar to apples. If you aren't cooking them immediately, submerge the cut potatoes in a bowl of cold water to keep them white and crisp.
