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.
