I've seen all sorts of potatoes I don't understand. Fingerlings, for one.
Purple or black potatoes for another. In my mind they fall along the same
lines as things like "broccoflower". Flourescent green cauliflower looking
a lot like broccoli... but not quite. I'm pretty sure it tastes the same as
white cauliflower. But it costs a heck of a lot more. And the prices are
outrageous! (Make up your mind, do you want broccoli or cauliflower?)

I simply buy small red new potatoes. They're much cheaper than these
weirdly modified potatoes. I have a knife handy if I want to cut them into
smaller pieces. Why would anyone really need potatoes the size of pearl
onions?

potatoes!
