Raw red potatoes are small to medium-sized, thin-skinned tubers with a firm, smooth texture and a mild, earthy flavor. Originating from the Americas, red potatoes are a staple in many cuisines, particularly in European, North American, and Latin American dishes. Rich in nutrients, they provide a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber while being naturally low in fat and calories. Their skin is packed with antioxidants, making them a healthier choice when consumed unpeeled. However, it's important to moderate portions, as potatoes are starchy vegetables with a high glycemic index, which can impact blood sugar levels when eaten in excess. Versatile in the kitchen, raw red potatoes are often boiled, roasted, or used in salads and soups for their waxy texture that holds its shape well during cooking.
