Being from Louisiana, I'm not much of a potato guy but my NW better half would eat them three times a day. I'll give these a try. I'm not familiar with the term "new potatoes", are you referring to the small red skinned variety?

They are just the really small potatoes.  Usually about 1" to 1-1/2" in diameter.  They typically come in a small bag in the produce department.

My understanding is that new potatoes can be of any variety, but they are young and not cured. Curing thickens the skin and helps potatoes last longer in storage.
