How people cook with it
New potatoes are versatile and can be prepared in many ways, from simple boiling to more elaborate roasting.
- Boiled and buttered
- Roasted with herbs
- Added to stews
- Mashed with skins on
To prepare, simply rinse the potatoes under cool water. You can leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients, or gently peel them if preferred. For boiling, place them in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork. When roasting, toss them with oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs before spreading on a baking sheet and cooking in a hot oven until golden and tender. They are also excellent cubed and added to simmering soups and stews.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to larger, mature potatoes, new potatoes have thinner skins and a higher moisture content. This results in a less starchy, more tender texture that doesn't become mealy when cooked. Their delicate flavor is also a key difference, allowing them to absorb other flavors readily.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick-cooking and flavorful potato option will appreciate these.
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. They are best used within a week of purchase for optimal freshness.
