There Are So Many Easy Ways to Cook Baby Potatoes

Thin and tasty skins make cooking baby potatoes easy

If the mere thought of peeling potatoes has you reconsidering your meal preparation choice, baby potatoes from Tasteful Selections^® are just what you need. Our baby potatoes feature skins so thin and tasty that you can use them in any potato recipe right out of the bag. In fact, we even pre-wash our baby potatoes as many as three times so you can skip that step, too. 

Depending on the recipe and method of cooking, it takes less than 30 minutes to complete most ways of cooking baby potatoes. Our Nibbles variety of baby potatoes are so uniquely tiny that they take approximately five minutes less to cook than their larger cousins in the Tasteful Selections^® catalog of baby potatoes. 

With the warm weather grilling season upon us as we post this article, let’s focus on this popular way to cook baby potatoes during the summer. It is best practice to preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You can speed up the grilling process by parboiling your baby potatoes prior to putting them on the grill. Parboiling will give your baby potatoes a slightly crispier finish as well.
