Creamer potato
A creamer potato is a variety of potato harvested before it matures to keep it small and tender. It is generally either a Yukon Gold potato or a Red potato, called gold creamers[1][not in citation given]Template:Dl or red creamers respectively, and measures approximately one inch in diameter.[2]
The skin of creamer potatoes is waxy and high in moisture content, and the flesh contains a lower level of starch than other potatoes. Like potatoes in general, they can be prepared by boiling, baking, frying, roasting, etc.[2]
There is ongoing research into the optimal production of creamer potatoes.[3]
