Janet is right. The ones I had were about one inch across and cut in half. They had the skins on and were not red potatoes. The texture and taste was distinct. They were very good. Our local King Soopers (Kroger) or Safeway may have them at times, but I have never noticed them. I do buy the two inch red "new potatoes" at times.

And yes, I am glad I do not take pictures of my food. I like my food to be hot, but I am a slow eater. Therefore I start eating when my plate is set in front of me.
