What it is
Pomme grenaille are small, whole potatoes. They are typically harvested when they are young and tender. These potatoes have a thin skin that is edible, so they do not require peeling. Their small size makes them a convenient choice for various cooking methods. They are often sold pre-washed and ready to cook. This product offers a simple way to include potatoes in meals.
How people cook with it
These small potatoes are versatile and can be prepared in many ways. They are a good addition to both everyday meals and special occasions.
- Roasted alongside meats
- Boiled for potato salad
- Pan-fried with herbs
- Added to stews
Pomme grenaille can be cooked in several ways. For roasting, toss them with oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them on a baking sheet and cook until tender and slightly browned. To boil, place them in a pot of cold, salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until fork-tender. They can also be pan-fried in butter or oil until golden. For stews, add them directly to the pot during the last 30-40 minutes of cooking, depending on their size.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike larger potatoes, pomme grenaille do not need to be cut before cooking due to their small size. Their thin skin is also a key difference, making them suitable for dishes where peeling is not desired. This convenience saves preparation time.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused pomme grenaille in a cool, dark place, such as a pantry or cellar. Keep them in a breathable bag or container to prevent moisture buildup. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this can affect their texture and flavor. Ensure they are kept away from direct sunlight.
