How do I store leftover baby potatoes?
Oven roasted baby potatoes will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days, you can reheat them in the oven or an air fryer, and they’ll also freeze for up to 3 months.
What are the best potatoes to use?
We’ve used baby Yukon gold potatoes, but you can also use baby red potatoes.
Pick potatoes that don’t have sprouts growing from them, and that have tight skin, if you can see shoots growing and the potato skin is loose and wrinkled, don’t buy them as they are passed their best.
How to serve roasted baby potatoes
We love roasting potatoes and serving them with mushroom wellington, lentil loaf, or nut roast.
They are complemented by roasted carrots, southern style mash, and broccoli casserole.
