The New Potatoes are most popularly known as baby potatoes or marble potatoes. They are small-sized potatoes that look exactly like a regular potato, but a miniature version. They are usually added in salads and they take great form even if they’re fully cooked. The best thing when you’re using baby potatoes in cooking is that there will be no need to peel off their skin. It is even more beneficial if you eat them with their skin on, as they are rich in fibre which helps maintain your body weight and also promotes proper digestion.
