Red Potato Characteristics

Red potatoes are known for their thin, smooth skins, striking color and firm, waxy texture. These potatoes get their distinctive red skin from anthocyanins, a natural plant pigment. Since the skin is thin, it doesn’t need to be removed before preparing and serving. With a moist interior and subtly sweet flavor, they’re ideal for boiling, baking or roasting. These potatoes are typically small to medium-sized with white flesh, allowing for diverse use. Our red creamer (petite) potatoes are especially popular for their bite-sized, tender, and naturally sweet characteristics. 

  • Grilling: Grilling can enhance the flavor of red potatoes, bringing out a caramelized sweetness and crispy skin.
  • Smashed Potatoes: Cooked, chilled, and seared, smashed potatoes are delicious when paired with seasoning and dipping sauces.
  • Roasting: Red potatoes roast beautifully due to their thin skins and creamy interior. Toss with olive oil, garlic, and rosemary for a simple side.
  • Potato Salad: Reds are a staple variety for potato salads. Pair with celery, green onions, fresh herbs, and a flavorful mustard dressing for a summer staple!
  • Boiling and steaming: Red potatoes retain moisture and flavor, great for a light preparation with butter and herbs.
  • Soups and Stews: The waxy texture holds up well in broths and slow-simmered stews, absorbing flavor without falling apart.
