What it is

Red potatoes are a variety of potato with reddish skin and white flesh. They are a root vegetable grown underground. Like other potatoes, they are typically harvested and then washed and packaged for sale.

Why it's used

Red potatoes are a versatile vegetable used in a wide range of dishes. They are often boiled, baked, roasted, or mashed. Manufacturers include them in packaged foods like frozen dinners, side dishes, and salads.

Health notes

Red potatoes are a source of carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin C. They are not typically subject to the same regulatory oversight as food additives. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers them a safe food ingredient. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not specifically evaluated red potatoes as a food additive.

Allergen info

Potatoes are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
