🥔 Baby Potatoes: A Tasty Little Gem
Baby potatoes are young, small-sized potatoes harvested before they reach full maturity. They’re adored for their delicate texture and naturally sweet, earthy flavor. Here’s what sets them apart:
🌱 Characteristics
- Size: Typically 1 to 2 inches in diameter — perfect bite-size
- Skin: Thin and tender, often left unpeeled during cooking
- Varieties: Can be red, yellow, white, or even purple depending on the type
- Flavor: Creamy, slightly sweet, and more nuanced than larger potatoes
🍽 Culinary Uses
- Ideal for roasting, boiling, steaming, or grilling
- Serve well in salads, stews, or as a side dish with herbs and butter
- Popular in dishes like smashed potatoes or potato medley roasts
🧑🌾 Growing & Harvesting
- Harvested early, often just weeks after planting
- Because they’re less starchy, they hold shape beautifully when cooked
