With spring around the corner, comes the desire to eat fresh fruits and vegetables.
This is the time of dishes prepared with fresh greens, such as dock, spring onions, garlic, spring salads and of course early potatoes. Fresh potatoes contain more vitamins and less harmful substances.
This is due to the fact that when they are removed from the soil, they need to be consumed almost immediately and do not require treatment with chemicals.
New potatoes have a thin skin, which is very tasty. Therefore, in many cases they are consumed without removing the skin. This is one of the advantages of fresh potatoes that they do not need peeling.
Cooked whole, even without slicing them, small new potatoes are divinely delicious. Their thin skin retains their juiciness and they literally melt in your mouth.
It is enough to clean them with a brush and wash them well with water. If you still want to remove the top layer, this will be easier by pre-soaking the potatoes in cold water and then scraping them off with a knife.
They can also be peeled with a peeler, but the peel that is removed must be very thin.
