Should I wash red potatoes before I roast them?

Do you guys wash your red potatoes before roasting? Heard it’s important, but wondering if it makes a difference? Thoughts?

Yes, definitely wash red potatoes before roasting! It helps remove dirt and excess starch, giving them a cleaner, crisper finish. I usually scrub them well and then pat them dry before roasting. How do you usually prep your potatoes?
