Red potatoes are loaded with fiber, B vitamins, iron and potassium, in their thin, nutrient filled skins, so keep the skins on when you eat them. With their smaller size, and less starchy texture, these potatoes are sure to be a crowd pleaser no matter how you cook them.
The creamy texture of red-skinned potatoes makes them delicious as salad toppers, soups, stews, chowders, savory pies, potato salads, and fried potato dishes. Smashed, mashed, roasted, boiled, pan fried, grilled, scalloped, or steamed, red potatoes are versatile and delicious.
If stored in a cool, dark, dry place in an open paper bag, red-skinned potatoes will keep for a couple of weeks. Never store potatoes in the fridge or in plastic.
