There are endless possibilities to make mashed potatoes taste even better. If you want to whip up pink mashed potatoes, you’ll need to use the cranberry red variety.

This potato has red skin but unlike regular red potatoes, the flesh keeps the color and can become more intense when cooked. They are delicious and bring a pop of color.

Cranberry red potatoes have an earthy taste and creamy texture. They are an all-purpose potato, so they can be mashed, roasted, steamed, and tossed into soups or salads.

When cooking any kind of potato, start by putting them in cold water; this will allow them to cook evenly. You can also replace the water with half and half to cook the potatoes.
