Little Potato Company Dynamic Duo Creamer Potatoes
What it is
These are small, tender potatoes with a thin, edible skin. They are a mix of red and yellow creamer varieties, offering a pleasing visual contrast and subtle flavor differences. Their compact size means they cook quickly and evenly, making them a convenient choice for many meals. The natural sugars in these potatoes caramelize beautifully when cooked, enhancing their inherent sweetness.
How people cook with it
These versatile potatoes are perfect for a wide range of dishes, from simple side preparations to more elaborate culinary creations.
- Roasted as a simple side dish
- Boiled for potato salads
- Pan-fried with herbs
- Added to stews and soups
To prepare, simply rinse the potatoes under cool water to remove any soil. For most preparations, there is no need to peel them due to their thin, delicate skin. You can roast them whole or cut larger ones in half. They also steam or boil quickly, making them ideal for a fast side. When pan-frying, a little oil and seasoning are all that is needed to bring out their natural flavors and achieve a tender interior with a slightly crisp exterior.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger potato varieties, creamer potatoes cook much faster and absorb flavors readily. Their waxy texture holds its shape well when boiled, unlike some starchier potatoes that can become mushy. The mix of red and yellow offers a slight variation in sweetness and texture.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy potato option will find these convenient.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Avoid refrigeration, as it can alter their texture and flavor. Keep them away from direct sunlight and other fruits and vegetables that produce ethylene gas, which can cause them to sprout prematurely.
