Baby Red Potatoes Recipes

Baby red potatoes are small, thin-skinned potatoes with a creamy texture and subtly sweet, earthy flavor. Because they hold their shape well, they are especially useful in recipes where you want tender potatoes that do not fall apart.

Use baby red potatoes for roasted potato sides, garlic smashed potatoes, warm potato salads, soups, stews, and sheet pan meals with chicken, sausage, or vegetables. Their skins do not need peeling, which makes them a convenient ingredient for quick weeknight cooking.

For the best flavor, season them generously with salt, olive oil, butter, herbs, garlic, mustard, lemon, or Parmesan. Halving them before cooking helps the centers become tender while the cut sides brown and crisp.
