“What is a New Potato?”
We get asked that a lot this time of year.
Let’s talk about it!
New potatoes are dug while the plants are still green. These potatoes are very tender and have a delicious mild flavor.
The early potatoes are harvested by hand to make sure that we don’t miss any of the baby potatoes and so we can be extra careful with the tender skins.
Make sure that you store you your new potatoes in a bag or container in the fridge because of the thin skins.
We enjoy them boiled, roasted, or on the grill. Definitely one of our favorites this time of year.
Stop by the markets this week and pick some up to try!
