We haven't had this discussion in awhile, but yes according to the GFGC booklet, "potatoes, new, whole" are Limited in P2 and not Avoid. recommended 2.5 oz portion size (about 75 gms?)
For discussions of "newness", "redness", GI/GL, insulin resistance in the general population and various other witty repartee, you can peruse these earlier threads.

Adding a good fat as part of the preparation is probably a good idea as well.
I think "limited" means about once a month, but someone up on that stuff can confirm or correct. |

| Thank you for replies. I didn't know that they are called "New potatoes" :) I'm asking about them, cause I love new potatoes and serve myself a feww as a treat. And suprisingly I was full and didn't have any cravings after eating, and didn't want to eat late dinner as I usually had. I steamed them without peeling cover with a drop of SBD aprooved margarine, add a tone of fresh dill, garlic and red onion with red vine vinegar. It was so delicious (I ate grilled fish and a veggie salad) |

***The key word here is P2
No potatoes of any type in P1. |
