What are baby potatoes?

Baby potatoes, also called “new” potatoes, and are potatoes that have been dug up from the ground before they fully mature. Commercial farmers sometimes harvest young potatoes early to make room for other potatoes to grow underground. However, baby potatoes yield a unique taste and texture that makes them popular to cook with.

New or baby potatoes are much smaller than mature potatoes, with softer, thinner skins and a higher moisture content. When baby or new potatoes are fried or roasted, their thin, soft skins crisp up beautifully. 

I like to use yellow baby potatoes which have a thin skin and gives them that nice crispy outside combined with a tender inside.
