Very thick skinned

I've been purchasing these potatoes for quite while and was quite happy that I was able to get organic. In the past few months though, I've noticed that there's a very thick layer beneath the outer skin that doesn't cook in the same way as the inside. We've been removing it as well, but it leads to a lot of wastage.

Misleading picture!

The picture shows 6 potatoes. I got 3, and one of those was tiny - smaller than a 'normal' potato! They were tasty, but I felt very misled. I wouldn't order again.

Consistently good in my experience

I was very surprised to read all the reviews citing mouldy sweet potatoes. I buy these almost every week and I have never had a mouldy one. My husband, baby and I all enjoy these (the four year old complains they are "too sweet", then demands pudding...).

I will continue buying these

I love these. I buy them every week and did not have any problem with the size or the quality they taste amazing even if I bake them plain with no sugar or honey.

Good quality sweet potatoes

Despite reading the many negative reviews I thought I would chance it and order these sweet potatoes as I prefer to buy organic when I can. Although I have had them for nearly a week they are still fine, not rotting/mouldy/fermenting. I received 3 good-sized potatoes and would purchase again. These are from the USA so unsure if the poor quality ones are from a different source?
