Boil them in a pot of really salted water, Kosher salt only. The potatoes absorb the salt while they cook. Then I put a little melted butter over them when we eat.<br /> Do these all the time with seafood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814493 Wed, 29 May 2013 01:24:06 +0000 blackbird 814493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crispy wedges or halves with olive oil and garlic and cayenne </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814484 Wed, 29 May 2013 00:33:15 +0000 StbHisMrs 814484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also like to roast them like others have mentioned, sometimes I use a packet of lipton's onion soup mix in place of salt and other seasonings.</p> <p>Lately I've been cutting them into cubes and steaming them, I add a little butter, and lots of herbs and salt.

(Am so lazy). They make amazing mashed potatoes. Also like to roast them. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814171 Tue, 28 May 2013 19:34:33 +0000 MapleMoose 814171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: Love those!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814091 Tue, 28 May 2013 18:38:47 +0000 Sweet T 814091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like using them for red potato salad.</p> <p>Cut potatoes into cubes and boil them until they're tender. Mix with mayo, sour cream, bacon bits, and dill weed. My mom also puts green onion in hers but I usually skip it. Mix it all together and you're done! I like mine on the warm side but my dad likes it chilled. It's really up to you. It's so easy and delicious.</p> <p>You can also cube the potatoes, coat with a little olive oil, and mix with a packet of Lipton's french onion soup mix. Super easy side dish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814084 Tue, 28 May 2013 18:34:15 +0000 MsLipGloss 814084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EVOO, salt, pepper, and rosemary. Quarter potatoes, bake at 350 until tender (and skins brown). OMG so good-- and makes your house smell amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814078 Tue, 28 May 2013 18:30:38 +0000 Caly 814078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Mmmm...this is actually the exact way I make em.

So good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814051 Tue, 28 May 2013 18:09:20 +0000 Anagram 814051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I just halve or quarter them, toss them in olive oil, sprinkle on some spices that I feel like that day--sometimes I do spicy, like "kickin chicken", sometimes I do garlic powder and rosemary, sometimes I sprinkle on a Ranch dressing powder packet, then cook them in a pyrex pan (they don't stick as much in pyrex). Leave the skins on and bake on high, like 400, until crispy/cooked through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814044 Tue, 28 May 2013 18:02:53 +0000 Grace 814044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom would steam the little ones and then fry them (med-low heat) in a butter/oil mix so that they are crispy. Sooooo good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814025 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:54:03 +0000 sandy 814025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favorite way:</p> <p><a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/06/crash-hot-potatoes/" rel="nofollow">http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/06/crash-hot-potatoes/</a></p> <p>Better than French fries they are soooo yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814024 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:53:57 +0000 Ash 814024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: this is what I do! Yuuuuuum!</p> <p>I also boil cheddar brats, cut them up and add them to a skillet with red potatoes (sliced thin) with onions and green peppers. All in one skillet meal. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814012 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:47:38 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 814012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I slice them thin and put them in a skillet with a little oil, onions, salt, pepper, and rosemary. I sauté them until they are soft. They are also great for mashing and roasted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814011 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:47:25 +0000 Ra 814011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yum! Thanks ladies!</p> <p>Now I am salivating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814009 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:44:50 +0000 banana 814009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: Yup, just half them! If you don't have as much time to cook, you can quarter them up. Makes the roasting time shorter! And cover it with foil for about 25 minutes (to make them cook through better) and then remove the foil for the remainder of the time for that yummy crispy texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814008 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:44:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 814008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: if they're already small, I would half them. Or third them. whatever! You can't mess them up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814005 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:44:11 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 814005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK this is similar to what sugar biscuit said.</p> <p>This is my favorite way to cook potatoes... SO delicious!!</p> <p>So cut the potatoes into slices. Not too thin, but not big chunks either. (you can do cubes, but you just need to bake it a little longer)<br /> Spread them out in a dish in a single layer. Cover them with olive oil. Season with rosemary (this is key), garlic, and salt and pepper. Cook in the oven at 400 or 425 for about 40 minutes. The high heat combined with the olive oil will make them CRISPY on the outside and around the edges but still really soft and delicious when you bite into them. </p> <p>P.S. Make sure you stir them a couple times while they're cooking to make sure it is all coated with olive oil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-814003 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:42:52 +0000 Ra 814003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are already pretty tiny. Should I just half them? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-813999 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:39:47 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 813999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oven roasted! Cut into cubes put mix in olive oil add sea salt &amp; ground pepper or what ever flavors you want. we normally add garlic powder, rosemarry, tyme, and some butter. Roast or bake for about 30 min till soft or golden. Which ever you prefer either way is yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-813997 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:38:23 +0000 banana 813997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOOOOVE red skin potatoes. I cut them up in big chunks, along with onions, red and green peppers, garlic and bacon. Then I drizzle everything with a little bit of oil and butter, season, and put it in the oven for 40 minutes at 425 degrees. SO good </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/best-way-to-cook-red-skin-potatoes#post-813983 Tue, 28 May 2013 17:32:23 +0000 Ra 813983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am trying to expand my side dish repertoire. Usually, when I make potatoes I stick with mashed yukon golds. This time around, I bought a bag of red skin potatoes.</p> <p>Sadly, I have no idea how to make them! I've seen you can use a skillet, boil, bake, roast, etc., but which is best?</p> <p>Can you please share your favorite method? </p>
