The red potato is a tuber native to North America, widely cultivated in the United States and Canada, known for its slightly sweet flavor and characteristic color. In gastronomy, red potatoes add a special touch due to their thin, edible skin and their ability to hold their shape after cooking.

Their notable properties include their content of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium, essential nutrients for a balanced diet and sustained energy.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, the red potato is also called patata roja (mainly in Spain), papa colorada, papa criolla roja (in Colombia and parts of Central America), or simply potato with red skin, although in the context of recipes, "red potato wedges" is the most common term to refer to this specific cut.
