What it is

Red skin potatoes are a variety of potato characterized by their thin, reddish-brown skin and creamy white or yellow flesh. Like other potatoes, they are a starchy tuber that grows underground.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add red skin potatoes to products primarily as a vegetable component, providing texture, flavor, and visual appeal. They are often found in frozen meals, soups, and deli salads.

Health notes

Red skin potatoes are a whole food, not a food additive, and are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. They are a source of carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. No specific regulatory evaluations or ADIs by bodies like JECFA or EFSA are typically applied to whole foods like potatoes.
