I grow them, specially to eat tiny. The first lot are always eaten as
a plate of nothing but little baby potatoes, steamed with mint then
served hot with butter, sheer heaven.

Usually the first pick are ready to eat on the summer solstice, but it
was a cold spring so they are probably behind. Haven't looked yet :-)
