"Potato varieties are classified according to their growing season. Potatoes that are taken out of the ground earlier than the others in the crop are called "new" or "earlies". The ones that are harvested later are known as "maincrop" and are also delicious and nutritious."

Potatoes are storable for longer periods than any other vegetables. The counting starts from the time the potatoes are dug out of ground and they are stored. The longer the storage the drier they become. The fresh potatoes (new) are reasonably wet or contain water and are heavier in weight than the old dried up ones. Since they are fresh and not dried up the nutritions which survive only when there is moisture will be lost when they totally dry up. Hence new potatoes may be considered as more nutritious than the dried up ones. However the dried up ones are more tasty and good to eat. Also the old potatoes do not rot easily as that of new ones and all the spoilt ones are naturally removed by the sellers and you get the best & filtered ones. Again people say that new potatoes produce less gas than the old ones and hence are more healthy to eat.

new potatoes can depend really on which nutritional items you want in them. most often a new potato refers to a russet, baking or idaho potato. they are basic russet potatoes so if you are considering russets to be the 'normal' then there is no difference.
however if you consider yellow/butter, white or red potatoes to be 'normal' then the only difference is in flavor and how they were grown.
