How do I make potatoes?

[Anonymous]

I was at an acquaintances home and she served these potatoes I'd like to make at my house but am not sure how. They were little circular potatoes. Not the new potatoes that are lumpy ovals that I usually cut up into chunks, but smaller and more perfect balls.

Does anyone know what they were, and how I should cook them ?

Why not ask for the recipe?

They come in a bag at giant.

Pale beige skins?

Because we're not close and I feel like I should know, so I'm embarrassed. Hence, asking anonymously on a forum.

Yes, they were pale beige. Do you know what they're called, and how to cook them?

You can get tiny small potatoes at Trader Joe's (called fingerling potatoes). I just coat mine with olive oil, sprinkle salt on them and some rosemary, and cook them for about 25 minutes on a roasting pan at 400 degrees. Delicious.

Don't be embarrassed! "Susie, those potatoes were delicious. Where did you get them? I'd love to have the recipe you used to cook them"

Were they skinless? I like to buy the small canned tomatoes. They're peeled and soooo yum. Especially on a kabob on the grill.

Re-read the first post. Potatoes. Not tomatoes.

We just call them baby potatoes. Pretty much every grocery store sells them. Lots of recipes online, they are great with herbs

They can be boiled, steamed or roasted. My favorite methods are to steam and then toss with butter and herbs; or coat with olive oil, garlic paste and coarse salt, and roast.

These were circular - definitely not the fingerling ones. The way you described is the way I already make new potatoes.

OP, were they whole potatoes with skin on? Can you estimate the size, like a 1 inch diameter? Were they soft throughout, or was there a crispy skin? Any seasonings that you could identify?

OP, call the hostess. Most people are happy to share recipes or at least the general concept. Then let us know. You have me intrigued!

Yes, whole round potatoes with skin. Small - an inch. Soft throughout. I can't identify seasons.
