Kingston’s Fingerling Potatoes are part of the family of heritage potatoes, which naturally grow smaller than conventional tubers. These robust potatoes also tend to be elongated and slightly knobbly, making them finger-like in shape. These unusual looking, flavorful potatoes can be used just like regular potatoes in an assortment of roasted, broiled, baked, grilled, or boiled dishes. Many grocers stock fingerling potatoes in season, and they can also be grown in home gardens located in temperate climates.

Many people confuse fingerling potatoes with new potatoes, which are young potatoes harvested before they fully mature. While young potatoes and fingerling potatoes share a small size and thin skins, fingerling potatoes have a more complex flavor, and they are fully mature. Just as is the case with regular potatoes, fingerling potato farmers allow the green upper portion of the plant to die back before harvesting.
