To prepare, simply rinse the potatoes under cool water to remove any dirt. Since their skins are thin and edible, there is no need to peel them. For roasting, toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs like rosemary or thyme, then bake until tender and slightly browned. When boiling, place them in a pot of salted water and cook until fork-tender. They can also be cut in half or quarters for faster cooking. Their small size makes them ideal for quick preparation.
