Tiny baby spuds. What do you do with them?

[Carltonian Man]

Does anyone else make use of their tiny spuds? These marble-sized roasties went down a treat with a glass of wine yesterday while shelling broad beans in the sun.

[Green Aura]

They don't look so tiny CM. T*sc* sell those as baby new potatoes and charge twice as much.

They look delicious - must have a fertle(sp?) in my spud sacks.

Boil whole and serve with a top quality olve oil and sea salt.(but roasted is good!)

[Mustardseedmama]

You're making me very hunnnnngrrryyyyyy!

with snipped chives - yum

... or tossed in chopped mint in a salad.

Unfortunately ours (the truly "marble sized" ones) get cooked and fed to the fattening pullets. That way they're even tastier 6 - 8 weeks down the line.

put mind in a tia curry

[Mrs Moustoir]

Yes - definitely a curry. Homemade aloo gobi with small spuds and tiny florets of cauliflower. Yum!

I put them in 'manga', this kind of stew with diced pork chunks and veg and tomatoes, and the whole washed baby ptoatoes and stock. Everthing goes in a big terracotta pot with a lid and baked in the oven for a couple of hours. you can take the lid off at the end to make sure its properly reduced down. It ends up in a thick sauce with the pork meat just falling appart. Eat with fresh crusty bread. Very yummy!

Yes I tend to chuck mine in cassaroles etc. But I also use them combined with all the ones that get damaged when you dig them to make floddies.
Burger type patties made from huge pans of boiled spuds, a couple handfuls of oats, beaten egg, grated cheese, onion, moulded into shape and dipped in seasoned flour. Open freeze on large trays and fry with home cured bacon... yummy

I make very lazy potato salad with mine. I do always shed a little tear for the tiny (less than marble sized ones) that never made it. They get used, though. It's what they would have wanted.

[Carltonian Man]

All these ideas sound so appetising and inspirational I looked at the clock and started thinking about lunch (10.00am, too early... ). Tried the floddies the other day PatR (first time floddie maker); blummin lovely and definitely one to have again and again.

The smaller the better. I've felt cheated some years when I've grown 'new potatoes' and they were baking sized. It's just not the same!
