New potatoes
What are new potatoes?
New potatoes are not a variety. A potato that is harvested early in the season is called a new potato. The leaves are green when new potatoes are picked. They can be enjoyed for their delicate skin, high humidity and sweet taste. They have less starch than their mature parts and keep their shape just right when cooking. Potatoes grow anywhere and depending on your climate their presence in late April matures early summer. New potatoes of any variety are deliciously steamed or cooked, mixed or fried in salads, or pure perfection with a little butter and herbs.

Best Smashed New Potatoes
Make mashed potatoes by choosing small potatoes instead of big ones:
You can use this technique on potatoes of any size (even rosette potatoes!) But for crispy potatoes, choose potatoes around the size of a golf ball.
Small potatoes are usually made of red or yellow smashed varieties:
Both are delicious, but the red potato skins taste better, so the red ones were my favorite.
Smashed using a large baking sheet:
Everyone has a half-sheet pan, as our recipe testers always bake it. You need a large baking surface to accommodate all the potatoes, leaving a little breathing space around each. Use two pans instead if necessary.
Smashed with a baking sheet with olive oil:
I usually use parchment paper for its non-stick surface and easy clean-up factor, but baking potatoes on an oiled baking sheet makes them even crispy. If you ask me, it’s worth cleaning up.
Smashed by adding a little garlic and onion powder:
These are my secret ingredients when I work with potatoes. They add a subtle delicious note that sends the potatoes on top. These are especially great when you are baking potatoes.
