baby potato

Small whole tuber

A baby potato is a small potato harvested before reaching full size, typically one to two inches in diameter.

The small size means quick cooking and tender texture.

Baby potatoes are often roasted or boiled whole: Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil and rosemary.

Also called new potatoes, though that term technically refers to any potato harvested early in the season.
