The story of The Little Potato Company is really one of Jacob van der Schaaf and his daughter, Angela Santiago. Jacob, a Dutch immigrant, longed for the small creamer potatoes of his youth. “I can’t find any potatoes here with the same delicious taste and creamy insides!” he would lament. In 1996, he put an idea to Angela: why not test out the market for little potatoes? By going back to the potato’s roots, they uncovered the same types of potato varieties first cultivated—small, highly nourishing, diverse, and packed with flavor. By going back to the potato’s roots they have uncovered the same types of potato varieties first cultivated—small, highly nourishing, diverse, and packed with flavor. Their goal is to cultivate potatoes that are again full of flavor and bursting with nutrition. This amazing vegetable is a gift and we see it as our job to bring the potato back to its original glory.
