- These potatoes are part of a “clean eating” diet and a recipe you can feel good about.
Some of our favorite potatoes for roasting are the small round redskin potatoes. These potatoes are easy to roast because the skins are a little thinner, which makes for a tender yet crispy potato.
If you are looking for the perfect dinner side dish for chicken, pork and beef, this is it! Potatoes are a healthy addition to your diet because potatoes are an excellent source of potassium, fiber, vitamins C and B6!
