Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are red potatoes good for roasting?

Red potatoes are in the “waxy” potato family, meaning they have a thin skin and are lower in starch than their cousin, the russet potato. As a result, they hold their shape well when cooked, making them the perfect choice for potato salad and potato soup.
