All hail the potato! Potatoes are super versatile ingredients that have gotten a bad rap for only being served fried. But are potatoes good for you? Turns out they are! Potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin C, a good source of potassium (more than a banana!), and a good source of vitamin B6. They’re also fat free and cholesterol free, and a good source of fiber with the skin. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get eating with some red potato recipes! In all of the recipes below, we’ve kept the red skin on for maximum nutrients. And you won’t believe some of the ways you can eat potatoes (like vegetarian meatballs).

And now, our top red potato recipes!

    I can’t believe no reviews yet. These are wonderful ideas! I came in for one recipe and am leaving with several that I want to use with all the potatoes I’ve harvested from my garden. Especially love the potato chowder idea. Thank you for sharing.
