Red potatoes are considered an excellent salad potato because they hold their shape well when cooked and can be roasted and smashed when small in size.

They can be cubed, roasted, and served alongside meats as a hearty side dish.

They will keep for a couple of weeks when stored in a cool, dry, and dark place.
