Can red potatoes be used to make mashed potatoes?
We have some red potatoes in the house that are left over from making potato salad. I want to make homemade mashed potatoes, but have only used regular white potatoes in the past. Will red potatoes work too, or should I just buy a bag of regular potatoes?

They make good mashed potatoes, you can leave the skin on and have a little color in them, or peel them and cook them.
Trả lờiXóaI prefer red potatoes for potato salad too.
You can absolutely use red potatos for mashing! i would peel them most of the way but leave a few strips for color and a "rustic" homemade appearance, and after plating up in a serving platter, sprinkle the top with chives.
Trả lờiXóaYeppers! My family loves them too. I leave the skins on, just cut them into chunks- lil salt, lil butter, sour cream and chives, use a potato "smasher" and add just a lil but of milk. Very yummy!!!!
Trả lờiXóaRed taters are just fine when making mashed taters.
Trả lờiXóaYes, you can. However, the best potatoes to maked mashed potatoes out of are old potatoes...more starch. Boil the new ones and use them for salad, but try to use the old potatoes with the thicker skins for mashed...they just have a better consistency. And the very best of all are Yukon Gold...they are rich and creamy tasting...
