new potatoes
The last of the stored potatoes were probably finished off in February, and we won’t be seeing the “big boys” of the potato world again now until late June. So it’s just as well that the newbies are starting to arrive and will be with us until the end of July : )
Shopping
Best to get the mucky ones rather than the washed ones as the mud helps keep them fresh and blemish free.
Cooking
If you eat organic, you probably don’t peel your taters anyway, but newbies are even lower maintenance, because you don’t even need to chop them before cooking. Just a quick wash and a plunge into boiling water and you’re cooking (groan).
Storing
If you keep them cool and shaded, they should last a few days after buying them. If you can resist them, that is!
Recipes
And now it’s over to you…

Although I could think of many recipes in which to use the fantastic new potato the best way is the simplest in my mind. Boiled and smothered with some butter!!
