Small red new potatoes recipes...?

Question

I bought a bag of new potatoes. Ive never cooked with these before. What are some good recipes using new potatoes? And what's the difference in new potatoes and other potatoes?
Thanks!

Answer 1

New potatoes(sm. red potatoes) are picked when they are young and tender. Red potatoes are generally sweeter than regular white or russett potatoes. I wash them thoroughly leaving the skins on cut them in half, drizzle a good olive oil mixed with some butter, lemon pepper, fresh parsley,sm. white onion diced and several pieces of bacon(raw) cut into sm. pieces. Mix everything together and put in a baking dish uncovered. Bake for 45 min at 350. So easy and so good. Kind of like scalloped potatoes but without the milk.

Answer 2

Red or other new potatoes are less mealy and sweeter than a baking potato (their sugar content hasn't entirely turned to starch yet). I add them, along with carrots, celery, onion, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper and a little chicken broth when I'm making a whole chicken. They're also good added to pork and sauerkraut. You can also roast them -- quarter them, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic (rosemary's good here too) and bake on a cookie sheet. When the top side is brown, flip over with a spatula. They're also good just wrapped in foil and baked as you would a regular potato (but takes less time!)

Answer 3

Small red potato's are commenly used in potato salad, and are excellent for roasted potato's. For roasted potato's just wash them first, then cut into quarters (basically bite sized) place them into a large mixing bowl and drizzle olive oil (or other oil if olive is not available) seaso with salt, pepper, garlic or any combination of spices and herbs you prefer. Mix well to make sure all potato's are well coated evenly. The layout potato's on baking sheet, but only 1 layer deep and spread out best you can to make sure they are not all touching each other. Pre-heat oven to 350 and bake for 30-45 minutes depending upon size of cuts. They are excellent for side dish to any meat entree. You can als boil them, then mash them. Red potato's are not as starchy as yukons or idahos, and in my opinion have a better texture and flavor then both of those. Hope this helps. Aso sggest doing the roasted method, but also seaon with dill weed....excellent taste.

Answer 4

Their texture is a bit smoother than other kinds of potatoes. I use red potatoes only in corned beef and cabbage and also Irish lamb stew.

You can boil them with garlic and mash them, or

Cut them in quarters, sprinkle with olive oil, salt, and rosemary and roast about 40 mins; serve as is (you can also add bell pepper and onion slices in to roast) or

Toss the roasted potatoes with a dijon vinagrette for a European style mayo-free potato salad; or

Bake them and then slice into a casserole dish, cover with cheese sauce for potatoes au gratin.

Answer 6

You don't have to peel small new potatoes, the skin is very thin.
They're great boiled, tossed with melted butter, salt & pepper and any herbs you have on hand.

Answer 7

Oh, yummmy. New red potatoes are just more tender because they are younger, kind of like veal is more tender.

I like them just plain- wash them & toss them in a pot of water to boil them, then top with butter and a bit of salt. Then you really get that fresh taste. You could always toss them with some fresh dill if you'd like.
