Red potatoes, new potatoes, baby red potatoes...whatever you call them, they're delicious, and they're real team players in the kitchen. Named because of how early in the season they're harvested, they work in many applications, including as a hero ingredient in potato salads and sheet-pan dinner recipes. We love them because they have a thin skin that you don't have to peel, which cuts down on prep time (and that's always a plus). Try a few of our favorite red potato recipes for dinner this week, and you'll no doubt be adding them to your rotation on a permanent basis.
