Yes. These days Baby (new) potatoes seem to be Toddler or Pre School
sized. When I was a kid and they came out of the garden instead of the
supermarket, they were never bigger than a ping pong ball and often
the size of a marble. When you scrubbed them to get the dirt off, a
lot of the paper thin red skin would come off. They were good creamed
with peas or boiled and tossed with butter, but the absolute best way
was "french fried".

fingerlings are over-rated

Greg, its unfortunate that you insist on going through life as a jerk.
Sheryl's not perfect; none of us are, but she's a fine and caring
person. No one says you have to like Sheryl, but cyberstalking her is
more than a bit weird.

OMG! You made me laugh out loud!

Ping Pong ball sized is the biggest "regular" sized new potato I see.
You mean they get bigger???? Well, a little bit bigger than ping pong
ball size wouldn't faze me, but... Holy Cow! How big can they get?
I'm not happy with a ping pong ball size. They should be bigger than
a marble and definitely smaller than a ping ball. Well, I'd be happy
if they were the size of that "big" marble, whatever it's called... a
shooter? You know - the one you shoot at the other marbles.

Where did this come from? I don't have any previous posts. I wonder
if my news host dropped them?
