Sorry going to disagree with you on this one. Far more likely that they didn't get enough water in the drought. When they are put in the water to cook they absorb too much. Try steaming them then this wont happen.

Inconsistant watering can have the same effect.

I "boil" potatoes in their skins.I bring them to the boil and then let them simmer not actually boil until they are cooked. Or you could microwave them.

They either got far too much water in the wet summer, Brian, or they were not Maris Piper in the Maris Piper bag!
