I don't grow them, but I've had them a couple of times. They are
just like new potatoes for me. Their advantage, to me, is just that
they come in a 4-5lb bag with red, yellow & purple all together. I
eat them roasted, usually.

Pricewise, in my neck of the woods, they are more than the 4lb bags of
new potatoes- but less than the tiny bags of red/yellow/purples that I
see.
