How do you cook red skin potatoes?

Any way you want!


Because the skin is so thin, many people leave it on (they're more nutritious that way). They also retain a firmer texture after cooking, which is best when making potato salad or roasting with other veggies.How do you cook red skin potatoes?
You can oven roast them on 350 until fork tender.


I always toss mine in Olive oil and parsley.How do you cook red skin potatoes?
An easy way is to boil them (cover with cold water and boil uncovered) until soft but not too mushy, then drain, halve, and season with butter, salt pepper, and anything else you like on them.
I always line a pan with aluminum foil--with excess to close around the top of the potatoes. Wash the potatoes and cut them into bite size chunks and put them into the foil. Sprinkle them with seasoning salt and put pats of butter all over the top of the pile of potatoes. Close the foil around the top of the potatoes and bake in the oven at 375 for an hour. For quicker cooking, bake the potatoes in the microwave first for 5 minutes, then bake in the oven and cut the time in half.





This is a great recipe--everyone loves it and it's so simple!
Like you would any potato.I love to make potato salad with mine.They can be cut in half and put next to your chicken as it bakes.They are good.
Boil red potatoes and bake brown potatoes.
Boil em for 15 minutes and mash em with milk, butter or sour cream.


OR


Quarter them, toss them in olive oil, garlic and seasoning and bake em for 30 minutes on 350.


OR


Slice em and sautee them in a skillet with olive oil, red wine and shallots.
I don't.
I first cut the potatoes in quarters. Then I boil the potatoes. After that, I put the temperature on 350 and preheat the oven. Then when the potatoes are hard, but almost done (about 7-13 minutes away from being done) I put them on a cookie sheet with 3/4 stick of butter. Then I put Montreal Steak Seasoning over the top and cook. Then wa-lah. Delicious!
EAT THEM HOWEVER YOU WANT!





Even though it has a red skin on it , it doesn't change the way you can cook it. You can still make them into mashed or what ever you want. The extra value is that you can do more things with he skin on.

USE YOUR SEARCH ENGINE AND PUT IN RED SKIN POTATOES, THERE ARE MANY IDEAS OOUT THERE!
One of my favorite ways is to just clean them - leave the skin on, and then cut them in half. Melt some butter in a saute pan, then toss in some chopped garlic. (skip that step if you don't like garlic!). Throw in your potatoes, add some salt %26amp; pepper %26amp; saute on med-high heat for about 10 minutes, then turn heat to low %26amp; cover. Cook for another 20 minutes. Take pan of taters %26amp; pop into a 425 F oven for another 10-15 min's until edges are nicely browned. Take out, toss with freshly chopped parsley and serve!


They are so yummy.
