The following recipe is for new potatoes. New potatoes cook a lot faster than mature potatoes. Mature red and Yukon Gold can be prepared pretty much the same way. The only difference is the increased cooking time mature potatoes require. Cook them halfway, a knife inserted should go in easily, but do not cook them fully tender. From then on proceed as with new potatoes. This recipe is a flavourful alternative to fries.
