To prepare baby gold potatoes, begin by washing them thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt. For most cooking methods, you can leave the skins on, as they are thin and edible. You can then choose to halve or quarter them depending on their size and your desired presentation. They roast wonderfully with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs like rosemary or thyme. Boiling them until fork-tender is ideal for mashing or incorporating into salads. Pan-frying can yield a delightful crispy exterior.
