red potato

Rosy skinned starch

Red potato is a variety of potato with thin, reddish skin and waxy white flesh.

The texture holds up well in cooking, making red potatoes ideal for roasting, boiling, and potato salads where you want pieces to keep their shape: I'll pick up some red potatoes for the salad.
