What it is
Roasted redskin potatoes are a type of potato that has been cooked by roasting. Redskin potatoes, also known as red potatoes, have a thin, reddish-brown skin and a creamy white flesh. Roasting brings out their natural sweetness and gives them a slightly crispy exterior.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use roasted redskin potatoes as a flavorful and convenient ingredient in prepared foods. They are often found in frozen dinners, prepared side dishes, and dough-based meals, adding a hearty and familiar potato component.
Health notes
Potatoes are a source of carbohydrates, potassium, and vitamin C. The FDA considers potatoes to be a safe food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have not specifically evaluated roasted redskin potatoes as a distinct food additive, as they are a whole food. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming potatoes in typical amounts as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
Potatoes are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
