My husband bought like a ton of those little red potatoes so we'll be eating them for a few months. Any simple recipes would be greatly appreciated.

Simple recipes? Boil three or four potatoes per person 'til they're fork tender. Remote the potatoes from the water. cut in half, drizzle with some good quality olive oil on the potatoes, then add a bit of freshly chopped parsley and freshly ground pepper to the potatoes and serve.
Alternatively, cut the pototes in half, spread a layer of them on a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle some chopped parsley, rosemary, garlic powder, and ground pepper on the potatoes. Bake in a 400 degree oven for half an hour. Turn over, spring with more herbs, spices, and a bit more olive oil and bake more until the potatoes are golden brown.

Yes, and try that with butter instead of olive oil too. Changes it so it is different and as delicious.

Simpler yet.
Boil them as above.
Put in refrigerator over night.
Snack on them the next day with, maybe, a little salt.
These things are famous for turning into a wonderful snack the next day, after being chilled!

I like to use them in omelet filling.
Dice the potatoes (I usually just scrub them well and leave the peels on), add some chopped onion or shallot and minced garlic, and saute in whatever (olive oil is good and not too terrible for you, although bacon grease gives a better flavor IMO, assuming you aren't afraid to live dangerously <g>). Other stuff on hand can be added (various meats ~ ham, sausage, bacon, steak ~ peppers, herbs, cheese, what-have-you). Construct the appropriate number of omelets, fill them and eat! It's one of our favorite weekend breakfasts.

Chapin's New Red Potato Salad
Wash x lbs of potatos and cut into uniform bit size pieces. If you've got the really small new potatos you can choose the smallest one (the size of a cherry tomato) as the standard reference size. Boil, unpeeled, as for normal potato salad.
Meanwhile, soak 2 tsp of mustard seed in white vinegar to cover until semi-soft, about 20-30 minutes.
Cook 4-8 pieces of lean bacon, or the equilvanet amount country ham, until crisp. Roughly crush or chop cooked meat into pieces around 1/4-1/3" square.
Prepare a mild vinaigrette, about 1 cup per two lbs of potatos. Use of red or white wine vinegar recommended, balsamic is not as it seems to overpower the potatos (and I do like balsamic, just not in this instance). To ensure that the vinaigrette stands up to the bland potatos, I make the vinaigrette more vinegary than usual, and add a bit more mustard and garlic than usual.
Drain the potatos and place in a serving bowl. Add the drained mustard seed, meat and the vinaigrette and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes then taste. Correct the seasoning with ground pepper and salt to taste. You can also add some chopped raw onion, or thinly sliced scallions if you like.
Tastes good, and the "crunch" makes for an interesting mouth feel.

This is one of my favorites. You can of course, substitute the red potatoes very easily. And I tend to double the garlic cloves, since they are sooooo good.
Garlic Roasted Potatoes
Recipe By: Barbara Kafka
Serving Size: 4
1 pound new white potatoes -- each 1 1/2 inches long
6 each garlic cloves, large
3 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 tablespoon kosher salt
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Scrub the potatoes well and dry thoroughly. Place them in a heavy ovenproof casserole, with a tightfitting lid, that is just large enough to hold them two layers deep. Add the other ingredients and mix well so the potatoes are all coated with the oil. Cover the casserole and bake for 50 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, lift the cover carefully and turn the potatoes over with a wooden spoon so they are again covered with oil.

Simple? Boil til tender, skin if you desire to do so, mash until lumpy but not smooth, salt, add enough velveeta to taste, (but not too much) and put in a dollop or three of sour cream sauce. Should be well recieved by hubby and the kids (if you have younguns)

Roasted Potato And Garlic Soup
Categories: soups, vegetables
5 lb red potatoes

3 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon rosemary, fresh
3 can chicken broth
3 tablespoon flour
3/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground

Peel and cube half of the potatoes. Cube remaining half, leaving skin on. Place peeled potatoes on one side of a roasting pan and the unpeeled potatoes on the other side. Sprinkle onion evenly over all. Peel away the dry outer leaves of garlic bulbs. Leave skins of cloves intact. Cut off the pointed top, leaving the bulb intact, but exposing the cloves.

Bake, uncovered, in a 400-degree oven about 50 minutes or until garlic cloves feel soft and potatoes are tender. Cool slightly. Squeeze garlic bulbs to remove paste from the cloves.
In a blender or food processor , combine the garlic paste, peeled potatoes, about half the onion, half of the chicken broth, and all of the flour and pepper. Blend until nearly smooth. Pour pureed mixture into a large pot. Stir in unpeeled cooked potatoes, remaining onion and broth and half-n-half. Cook and stir until slightly thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. If necessary, stir in additional half-n-half to make soup the desired consistency.

Last time I had a bunch of red potatoes, I cut them in half and grilled them out. I laid them flat side on the grill grate which I had covered with foil, poked a few holes in it and litely sprayed with cooking spray. I put the cover on and let them cook for about 25-30 minutes. I made an olive oil vinaigrette with lots of fresh garlic while they were cooking. Once the potatoes were done, I put them in a big bowl and poured on the vinaigrette then added some chopped up green onion. It was served warm. The potatoes were grill crunchy and very good. I did sprinkle some rosemary on them while grilling. It was delicious !

It's getting to be corned beef & cabbage time.... and the red ones are the only acceptable potato (for me) to put into
the mix.
Then you can make corned beef hash out of the leftovers.

Boil the potatoes (don't peel), they are small and cook fast.
Cut slices of Muenster Cheese and cover a plate with the slices.
Melt
Place the potatoes on the plate

This is my famous and scrumptious potato salad:
RANEE MUELLER'S RED POTATO SALAD
2 lbs small red potatoes, quartered
40-50 kalamata olives, pitted and sliced (do this yourself, buying them pitted makes them taste weird)
1 bunch scallions (4-5), sliced thinly
3/4 C olive oil
Juice of 2-3 large lemons, or more, whatever looks right
3-4 Tbsp dill (if dry, about half)
A few grindings of fresh pepper
Some salt (not that much, just enough to give it some bite)
Boil potatoes, skins on. Drain and mix with olives and scallions.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt and pepper. Toss with salad and refrigerate. Chill. Eat. Even nicer the next day.
This is a loose recipe, do it until it looks and tastes right.
