I would still consider these ‘new’ potatoes, like we had in the last share so recommend refrigerating them. Nicola is a variety developed in Germany in the 1960’s. Its a waxy potato that keeps its shape very well when cooked so great for roasted, potato salad, or in soups.
New potatoes are an early summer treat. Harvested before curing, new potatoes have a thin papery skin and high moisture content. They’re also a little sweeter since all of the sugars haven’t been converted to starches yet. Because of all of that, new potatoes should be kept refrigerated. While raw they have a crisp texture that reminds me of jicama, but cooked they are extremely creamy and keep their shape well which makes them perfect for potato salad.
