What it is
These are small, tender potatoes that come in a mix of varieties. They are typically harvested at a young age, which gives them a delicate texture and a naturally sweet flavor. The medley often includes different colors and shapes, adding visual appeal to meals. Their size makes them convenient for cooking whole, requiring minimal preparation. These potatoes are a versatile staple for many home cooks.
How people cook with it
Baby medley potatoes are excellent for roasting, boiling, or mashing. Their small size means they cook relatively quickly.
- Roasted alongside meats
- Boiled for potato salad
- Mashed with butter and herbs
- Added to stews
To prepare baby medley potatoes, simply rinse them under cool water. For roasting, toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs like rosemary or thyme, then spread them on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven until tender and slightly browned. For boiling, place them in a pot, cover with cold water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender. They can also be halved or quartered for faster cooking or if you prefer smaller pieces.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger potatoes, baby medleys have a thinner skin that is often edible, eliminating the need for peeling. Their smaller size also means they cook more evenly and quickly, and their natural sweetness is more pronounced.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused potatoes in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Do not refrigerate them, as this can affect their texture and flavor. Ensure they are kept in a breathable bag or container to prevent moisture buildup.
