Smooth, thin-skinned potatoes with a light and uniform flesh color. They have a mild or slightly sweet flavor and contain more water and less starch than mature potatoes. Their texture is firm, so they stay whole after being cooked. Ideal for making Russian salad, omelettes, French fries, or steaming. Due to their higher water content, they have a shorter shelf life, but they have fewer calories and more vitamin C than old potatoes.
