Baby Potatoes Recipes

Baby potatoes are small, tender potatoes with thin skins and a naturally creamy texture, making them ideal for quick weeknight recipes. Because they cook faster than full-size potatoes, they work well in roasted sides, sheet pan dinners, warm potato salads, soups, and skillet meals.

Their mild, buttery flavor pairs easily with herbs, garlic, citrus, cheese, and roasted vegetables. Leave the skins on for extra texture and less prep, then halve or quarter them so they cook evenly in the oven, air fryer, or sauté pan.

Use baby potatoes when you want a reliable side dish that can become the base of a full meal. Toss them with olive oil and rosemary, simmer them in curries and stews, or crisp them after boiling for smashed potatoes.
