New potatoes
Are potatoes that have been dug up from the ground before they fully mature. They are much smaller, with thinner skins, a higher moisture content, and will typically taste sweeter.
You can roast or fry new potatoes in olive oil for a crispy side dish, or boil them for potato salad.
Avoid making mashed potatoes with new potatoes, because they retain their shape too well to reach the desired mushy texture.
