Product description
Most potatoes in UAE supermarkets are imported and stored for weeks. Ours are UAE-grown and harvested to order, reaching your kitchen in hours — not weeks.
That’s why they taste fresher, sweeter, and naturally creamy.

Sign UpBaby potatoes are young potatoes harvested early — before the skin has fully set. This gives them three distinct qualities that regular potatoes do not have: thinner, more tender skin (no peeling required), naturally sweeter and creamier flesh, and a smaller, more uniform size ideal for roasting, salads, and presentation-quality cooking. They cook faster than regular potatoes (typically 15–20 minutes roasted vs. 40+ minutes for a full-size potato), hold their shape when boiled or roasted, and have a noticeably different texture — butter-soft inside, crisp outside when roasted. For jeera aloo, party starters, roasted salads, and Indian snack preparations, baby potatoes are the correct ingredient. Regular potatoes are a different product for different applications.
Yes — our baby potatoes are grown by UAE partner farmers and harvested to order. In a conventional import supply chain, potatoes from India, Egypt, or Pakistan may be harvested, packed, shipped (3–10 days at sea), cleared through UAE customs, warehoused, distributed to supermarkets, and then displayed on a shelf — a total journey of 2–4 weeks from farm to your kitchen. UAE-grown potatoes on the Rootz model travel from a local farm to our warehouse to your home in hours. The difference in flavor and texture is significant: fresh baby potatoes have a naturally sweet, earthy flavor and hold their shape when roasted. The imported equivalent is often starchier and drier because it has continued to convert sugar to starch over the storage period.
Do not refrigerate baby potatoes before cooking — cold temperatures cause the starches in potatoes to convert in a way that produces an unpleasant sweet flavour when cooked and can increase acrylamide formation during roasting. Store in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place: a paper bag, a basket, or a cotton produce bag in a cupboard. Keep away from onions — onions release a gas that accelerates potato sprouting. Properly stored, baby potatoes will stay fresh for 7–10 days. If small sprouts appear, snap them off — the potato is still safe and flavourful to use. Use within 2 days once cut or cooked.
No , and ideally you should not. The skin of baby potatoes is extremely thin and tender, and most of the potato's dietary fibre, potassium, and B vitamins are concentrated just beneath and within the skin. Peeling removes this nutritional layer unnecessarily. Simply scrub the potatoes under cold running water with a vegetable brush or your hands before cooking. The unpeeled skin crisps beautifully when roasted, adds a pleasant earthiness when boiled, and holds the potato together during cooking — preventing it from falling apart in salads or curries.
