What are 'new' potatoes?

Posted by jane d on October 13, 2009, at 21:31:20

This just came up in chat. I don't know the answer and I'm afraid of the tons of hits that will come up if I try to google "new" so does anybody know?
Are they the same as the little tiny red and white potatoes that you can buy or are those just little tiny potatoes? Is there an official definition of new or does it just relative to last years crop?
This came up because supposedly new potatoes are healthier. For that matter, is that true?
Any input appreciated.
