Russet Potatoes

Russet Potato Characteristics

Delightful Flavors for Diverse Dishes! Russet potatoes feature a mild, subtly sweet flavor that pairs well with various ingredients. A fluffy, starchy inside is complimented by a thicker, chewy skin that crisps when cooked. The typical medium to large size makes russets perfect for any of your classic potato dishes. There are endless ways to transform your meals or holiday celebrations with russet potatoes, and a variety of potato preparation methods:

• Baked potatoes: A classic baked potato has crispy skin and a fluffy interior. Whether you prefer simple toppings like butter, sour cream and pepper, or loaded with bacon, chives and cheese, baked potatoes are customizable to your desired flavor profile. 
• Mashed potatoes: Peel your potatoes (or don’t!) Cut and boil them till tender, mash, then add butter, milk, or sour cream as desired. Our potatoes are known for their high starch content and low moisture, which contributes to a consistent and fluffy texture.
• Fried potatoes: Make golden-brown french fries or potato wedges that are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Pair with your favorite sweet, hot or tangy sauce to make the perfect side for any meal or gathering.
• Grilled potatoes: Grill your potatoes, either directly on the grates or wrapped in foil. This cooking process can enhance the potato’s natural taste, add a smoky flavor and develop a crispy exterior.
