Recommended For You
Red potatoes are excellent for roasting, making soups, or making potato salad by boiling or steaming. You should use a different potato for mashing since the waxy texture of the flesh means they will hold their shape but will also become gluey when overdone.
Red potatoes should be a part of a healthy diet since they are naturally low in fat, only have 110 calories, provide 45 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C, have more potassium than a banana, are free of salt and cholesterol, and have just 110 calories.
