New potatoes skip all of that. Harvested young, while the plants are still green, they come straight from the field to the farm store. No curing. No storage. Just fresh.
That’s also why they live in a bag or container in the fridge, not the pantry. The skins are very thin, so papery thin that practically rubs right off.
They have a creamy, almost buttery texture you just don’t get from a cured potato. They don’t need much — a little butter, a little salt, maybe some fresh parsley. Simple preparations let them shine.
This is one of those things that aren’t around for long. Make sure to pick some up next time you are at the market!
