Red potatoes are small to medium-sized tubers with smooth, thin reddish skin and white, waxy flesh. Native to the Americas, they are a staple in many cuisines worldwide, known for their mild, earthy flavor and firm texture. Rich in essential nutrients, red potatoes are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, which supports immune health, heart function, and digestion. They are naturally fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low in calories when prepared without added fats. Their lower starch content compared to other varieties makes them ideal for roasting, boiling, or using in salads and soups. However, toppings or preparation methods like frying can add unhealthy fats and calories. Consumed in moderation and prepared simply, red potatoes can be a nutritious and versatile addition to a balanced diet.
