Red potatoes are globally known for holding their shape well when cooked and can be used in a number of culturally diverse recipes. They are also widely popular being both commercially grown and cultivated in home gardens for individual use. Red potatoes are often labeled as "new potatoes,” though this categorization only refers to the Red potatoes that are harvested prematurely and have a small size.

Applications

They readily absorb accompanying flavors and offer a textural element in a variety of dishes both cold and hot. Red potatoes are considered an excellent salad potato because they hold their shape well when cooked and can be roasted and smashed when small in size. They can also be used in soups, stews, and curries, or served baked or mashed. Red potatoes are popularly diced and sautéed for breakfast hash or sliced thin and used on pizza. They can be cubed, roasted, and served alongside meats as a hearty side dish. Red potatoes pair well with lemon, garlic, parmesan cheese, rosemary, herbs, basil, dill, parsley, goat cheese, leeks, sausage, Shishito peppers, and green beans. They will keep for a couple of weeks when stored in a cool, dry, and dark place.
