Episode 3
Marcus Wareing visits a potato farm, known for growing unusual varieties, to learn how to grow potatoes, and he heads out to sea to catch some mackerel to go with them.
Marcus鈥檚 dad was a potato farmer, so he鈥檚 always wanted to grow his own patch. He鈥檚 planted some, and now he wants some advice for how to harvest them. He meets local potato farmer Steve, who is doing something quite unusual 鈥� growing 33 varieties of potato on just 35 acres. He has a lot of advice for Marcus, who returns to his smallholding ready to tend to his own crop.
All this talk of potatoes has got Marcus thinking about one of his favourite pairings: potatoes and fish. He decides to go fishing and is excited to head out to the Kentish coastline to meet some local fishermen. A successful trip out to sea sees Marcus returning to his farm with some mackerel for dinner. After helping farmer Stuart feed his cattle, who are running out of grass due to the very dry weather, Marcus grills his mackerel and serves it with roasted potatoes for him and Stuart to enjoy.
