Made with Oakley’s Golden Gourmet Potatoes

Grown by a family of fifth-generation farmers, Oakley’s Golden Gourmet Potatoes reflect a deep legacy of dedication to quality and sustainability. Nestled in the heart of the Canterbury Plains, our golden potatoes thrive in some of the most fertile soils in New Zealand, producing a potato that’s naturally buttery, velvety in texture, and rich in colour.

When you cook with Oakley’s, you’re not just choosing premium produce – you’re supporting local heritage and flavour you can trust.

    • Cook over low heat in butter, stirring gently until just set and creamy.

  4. Warm the tortillas
