What are red skinned potatoes best for?
Chef's answer
Because of its low starch content, a red-skinned potato holds it shape better than others when cooked. This makes red-skinned potatoes an excellent candidate for soups, stews, savory pies, and potato salads. Look for red potatoes that are unblemished, with no sprouts or cuts.
