Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

What am I doing wrong? Earlier this year I planted some Maris Piper Spuds and left them to grow banking up when required. A fortnight ago I cut back some of the dead tops. Twice over the last few days I have lifted some spuds and wanted them has boiled spuds. This is were it has gone wrong, Cooked them on a medium heat but the spuds have just ended up has a sloppy mush in the bottom of the pan. When I cook shop bought spuds (M Piper) I don;t have this problem and end up with perfect boiled potatoes. Any ideals has I have plenty of potatoes to lift yet
