What is Baby Potatoes?
Baby potatoes are small potatoes with thin skins, often round or oval and tender enough to cook whole. They are sold in many regions and are a handy choice for simple home cooking. Boil or roast them with the skins on: they turn soft and creamy inside, with a lightly crisp exterior when roasted. Serve them warm as a side with fish, meat or vegetables, or let them cool for a potato salad; herbs, olive oil and a little mustard are familiar additions.
They provide mostly carbohydrate, along with fibre and potassium, and their skins add a little more fibre to the meal. For a lighter preparation, boil or roast them with just a modest amount of oil rather than deep-frying. Their small size also makes them easy to portion and serve whole.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baby Potatoes
How do you cook Baby Potatoes?
Baby Potatoes can be boiled, roasted, steamed, or pan-cooked, usually with their thin skins on. Wash them first, cook until a fork slides in easily, and season while warm so the flavors cling.
How do you make crispy roasted Baby Potatoes?
Dry Baby Potatoes thoroughly after washing, then toss them with oil and seasoning and spread them in a single layer. Roast until browned and tender, turning them once so they crisp evenly.
Do you need to peel Baby Potatoes?
No, Baby Potatoes usually do not need peeling. Their thin skins become tender when cooked and help the potatoes hold their shape; scrub them well under running water before using.
Can you cook Baby Potatoes in an air fryer?
Yes, Baby Potatoes work well in an air fryer. Toss washed, dried potatoes with a little oil and seasoning, arrange them without crowding, and cook until browned outside and fork-tender inside.
How long should you boil Baby Potatoes?
Boil Baby Potatoes until a fork reaches the center easily; the time varies with their size. Start them in cold water, bring it to a gentle boil, and check the largest potato before draining.
How should you store Baby Potatoes?
Keep uncooked Baby Potatoes in a cool, dark, dry, well-ventilated place rather than in a sealed plastic bag. Refrigerate cooked leftovers promptly in a covered container and use them within a few days.
Can you freeze Baby Potatoes?
Yes, cooked Baby Potatoes can be frozen, although their texture may become softer after thawing. Cool them first, freeze in an airtight container, then reheat thoroughly; raw potatoes generally freeze poorly.
Can you eat Baby Potatoes with the skin on?
Yes, the skin of Baby Potatoes is edible once the potatoes have been washed well. Leaving it on is also convenient for roasting or boiling, since the small potatoes stay intact more easily.
Are green Baby Potatoes safe to eat?
Avoid eating Baby Potatoes that are noticeably green, since greening can signal higher levels of naturally occurring glycoalkaloids. Discard potatoes that are extensively green or taste bitter rather than trying to cook the bitterness away.
Can you roast Baby Potatoes without boiling them first?
Yes, you can roast Baby Potatoes directly without pre-boiling them. Keep them whole if small or halve larger ones, spread them out on the pan, and roast until tender all the way through.
