red potatoes
Scarlet-skinned spuds
Red potatoes are a variety of potato with thin, smooth red skin and white or yellowish flesh.
They hold their shape well when cooked, making them ideal for roasting, boiling, and potato salads.
Their waxy texture distinguishes them from starchier russets: I'll pick up some red potatoes for the salad.
