How people cook with it
Creamer potatoes are incredibly versatile and can be prepared in many ways. Their small size means they cook quickly, making them a convenient choice for weeknight meals.

To prepare, simply rinse the potatoes 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 until tender and golden. They can also be boiled until fork-tender and then mashed or used in salads. For a quick stovetop option, pan-fry them with butter and garlic until browned and heated through. Their small size means they cook evenly and quickly, absorbing flavors beautifully.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger potatoes, creamer potatoes have a thinner skin that is often edible, eliminating the need for peeling. Their naturally buttery flavor and creamy texture are distinct. The blend offers a mix of colors, adding visual interest compared to a single variety.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused potatoes in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or cellar. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this can affect their texture and flavor. Ensure they are not exposed to direct sunlight. They will keep well for several weeks when stored properly.
