Absolutely! Red potatoes are excellent for making baked potatoes. While russet potatoes are the most common choice for traditional baked potatoes, red potatoes can be just as delicious and offer a slightly different flavor and texture profile. Red potatoes have a waxy texture compared to the mealy texture of russet potatoes. When baked, this creamy texture remains intact, resulting in a tender and moist interior. Red potatoes have thinner and edible skins, which means you can enjoy the added nutrition and a bit of extra texture without having to peel them before baking. Also, due to their waxy texture, red potatoes generally cook faster than russet potatoes, making them a great option for when you're short on time.
