Types of Potatoes

Gold Potatoes

These potatoes are best for boiling, baking and making french fries. Gold potatoes also stand up well to grilling, pan-frying and roasting.



Russet Potatoes

Russet potatoes are very absorbent, so they are great paired with butter and cream — think mashed potatoes. Just don’t try using russets for potato salads, gratins or any dish that requires the potatoes to hold their shape.
