Something you can make with baby potatoes
Origin
Baby potatoes are not a specific variety of potato, but rather small, young potatoes harvested early in the growing season. Potatoes themselves are believed to have originated in the Andes region of South America, specifically in present-day Peru and Bolivia. They have been cultivated by indigenous populations in the Andes for thousands of years. The Spanish conquistadors brought potatoes to Europe in the 16th century, and from there, they spread to other parts of the world through trade and exploration. Today, baby potatoes are grown in various regions around the world, including North America, Europe, and Asia.
