New potatoes signal warm weather eating
San Jose Mercury News, USA -
I love to toss new potatoes with a little olive oil and sea salt then roast them till the papery skins burst. The best new potatoes are the tiny ones, ranging from the size of marbles to golf balls. Look for a variety of new potatoes -- some Yellow Finn, Yukon Gold, Peruvian purple. The color alone will jazz up a meal. They should be firm, smooth-skinned and blemish-free.

Taking care of Arnie and Momma is enough work for three people -- but sisters Ellen and Amy don't carry their weight, leaving Gilbert to do the heavy lifting (no pun intended).
