Do I have to use red potatoes?

No. You can use fingerling baby potatoes or yellow Yukon Potiates if you like. The cooking time may be a little different depending on the density of the potatoes.

Do I have to boil the potatoes before roasting them?

No, although boiling the potatoes will create less time in the oven. Also, this would allow you to make this dish ahead because you can boil them until they are fork-tender and store them in the refrigerator. Complete the rest of the recipe 30 minutes before your dinner starts.
