Silly :-)) They are then OLD new potatoes :-))
Careful, now! These people take their potatoes *very* seriously!
What time did you dig them up?
How long have they been in the pantry?
Have you been timing this?

I think "new" potatoes must have been a brand name ages ago because I remember in the 1950's people calling them "new potatoes"...and it didn't matter if you had them in your pantry one day or one month or if you stored them in the root cellar for longer.

If they were dug up from last year's fall crop, and kept in chilled storage since then then, they are old. If they were dug up this year they are new. Time in your pantry does not count.

There are still new potatoes as that is the variety, but in your case they will be old new potatoes.

This is based on how mature they were when harvested.

I think they are. I think "new" refers to when they were harvested.
