In reply to What are 'new' potatoes?, posted by jane d on October 13, 2009, at 21:31:20
In my part of the world, new potatoes are just the small potatoes, usually harvested early and before the potato gets full size.
IMO, they are sweeter than the bigger potatoes. As far as being more healthy, I don't know, but perhaps it might be because people are more likely to eat the peel on new potatoes.
