Small pomme de terre grenaille are not new potatoes, or a variety of potato, but a potato of a certain caliber. When potatoes are removed from the ground there can be a number of sizes clinging to the root, those less than 1 1/2 inches (35 mm) are not commercialized with the larger potatoes as they would be difficult to peel, but sold separately under the name grenaille. These are my favorite potatoes to roast and by parboiling them first, they stay tender and moist on the inside while the skin gets crispy and brown—and in half the time it takes to roast raw potatoes.
