About One red potato
A single red potato is a versatile tuber with a smooth, reddish skin and a firm, creamy texture. Originating from South America, red potatoes are commonly used in a variety of cuisines, such as American, European, and Latin dishes, due to their ability to hold shape when boiled or roasted. Nutritionally, one medium red potato provides around 110 calories and is an excellent source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, which support immune health, heart function, and digestion. It is naturally low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium, making it a heart-healthy food. However, preparation matters; frying or adding heavy toppings can increase calories and fat content. Red potatoes are also rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins, found in their skin, which promote cellular health. Whether baked, mashed, or sautéed, it’s a nutrient-dense addition to any balanced diet.
