They can be eaten the same day. If you are frying them, they will take longer to brown (just as white potatoes that are new). You can age them and they will brown faster. Aging is done by putting them in a cool, dry place and letting them sit. Potatoes will keep a very long time if you DO NOT wash them. That's why potatoes you buy in a store seem to rot quickly. Leave the dirt on them and if you can, keep them in a single layer in that cool, dry place.
Both red and white potatoes have similar amounts of nutrients. White potatoes have slightly more fiber than red. Both have the same amount of iron. Both also contain zinc, vitamin C, and niacin.
The season for new potatoes is March-May
Potatoes have "eyes" that produce new potatoes. The person growing them cut the potato with the eye and plant them.
Potatoes come in all sizes, from small new potatoes, main crop, and large ones used mainly for 'baked potatoes'.
This depends on the variety, quality and retail outlet. The current price can range between 50p a kilo for poor quality 'white' potatoes to over £3 a kilo for the best Jersey Royal new potatoes which have just come into season.
