First New Potatoes of the Year

disco · Jul 26, 2014

We dug up our first new potatoes. I love those creamy fresh little spuds. They don't need a lot to make a great side dish.

I microwaved mine until they weren't quite done. Then I through them on a grill over medium high heat and brushed them with butter. I turned them frequently, brushing with butter until the skin was crispy.

Aweee man those are my favorite potatoes! I always pick up 3 or 4 baskets of those new local potatoes every time I visit the farmers market. Must taste even better when they are from your own garden!

Cheers Disco!

Thanks, Red. We have green beans too. I like to fry some chopped bacon with some garlic and then stir in the green beans and stir fry.

Thanks for the kind words but potatoes, onions, bells and bacon beats these. Where's my invite?

And you do white fish which I have never brined or smoked. That is my next step. Just want to fry it up.

Omg!

Just like butter?

But even better with butter?

Who ever had too much butter or bacon?

Good luck and good smoking.

I thought I had too much bacon once. It turned out I was wrong.

Mmmmmm........... creamed new potatoes beats creamed bermuda onions in my book anyday!

Have you ever tried Syracuse potatoes? I think that's what they're called. Basically you just boil them whole and skin on (make sure you don't break or pierce the skin) in HEAVILY salted water til they're done. When you take them out of the water a coating of salt appears as soon as they dry. The insides are completely different from plain boiled potatoes. Give 'em a try they're delicious.

I remembered an old post from Pops on salt potatoes. That was the first time I had ever heard of them:
