I'm making a mexican meatball type soup called "Albondigas' and I wanna try red instead of white potatoes.Do they cook the same time in a soup? I add the regular potatoes the last 15 mins of cooking my soup. Thanx for your help..I need it ASAP as I'm cooking right now...lol... ;)it's 5:55 p.m. pacific here..... :)

Depends more on the size you cut them to .The red potatoes I use are smaller and I end up cutting them smaller as well hence they cook through more easily but not by much as to be readily noticable.
I will cook them first and cool them down before hand this cuts the starch unless you need it as a thickening agent.
peaceout

I use red potatoes all the time and haven't noticed any difference in cooking time.

No they take a little less time to cook they are a softer potato

I haven't noticed a difference in cooking time. Poke with a fork to make sure they are done.

Never compared but, it's probably about the same.
Love red potatoes.

Actually if you cut them then no! If you do not then yes.
