Using a Bumper Crop of Potatoes
New potato recipes
If there’s one thing we have in abundance this year in our garden, it’s potatoes and nothing tastes better than potatoes freshly dug from the garden.
I don’t know if it’s the same throughout the world, but here in the Ozarks, we call freshly picked potatoes (especially the tiniest ones) are called new potatoes. These potatoes still have delicate skins eaten with flaky white centers.
One of our favorite ways to eat fresh new potatoes is to make green beans and new potatoes. The recipe is the first recipe in our previous article Enjoy Fresh Green Beans Every Week. Check it out if you haven’t already.
Another popular summer recipe using new potatoes that we love in our house is New Potato Salad. This recipe is made according to taste. Use a little or as much of any ingredient mentioned so there are no specific amounts of any one ingredient.
