NEW POTATOES

New Potatoes should be kept in the fridge where its cold and dark like the ground . New spuds have a very low starch content when freshly dug and more sugar content which gives them the nice waxy texture when cooked and used in a potato salad

New potatoes should cut like soft candle wax . I usually lightly boil them in lighty salted water then turn the heat  off and let them finish off in the pot , drain and load with butter .If you want a mint taste but no fresh mint shake a teaspoon of mint sauce through the pot of potatoes .
