Yellow Potatoes

Characteristics of Yellow Potatoes

Yellow potatoes come in a range of sizes, from bite-sized or petite, to medium and large. With a rounded shape and light, golden skin, yellows have a visually appetizing appearance. The yellow, golden insides feature a slightly waxy, moist texture with creamy, buttery flavor. Whether you’re roasting, grilling, or mashing, yellow potatoes offer delicious flexibility and a subtly sweet taste:

• Grilling: Yellow potatoes on the grill calls for the perfect crispy exterior and a slightly sweet, smoky flavor. Grilling caramelizes the sugars in the potato, enhancing its natural flavor.
• Roasting: Cook your potatoes in the oven with your desired seasonings and oils. The outside gets crispy, and the inside becomes tender with a naturally buttery, creamy texture.
• Mashing or Roasting: Roast your potatoes to create a richer, slightly sweet flavor. Mash them with butter and milk for creamy mashed potatoes.
• “Smashed” Potatoes: Boil or steam first, then “smash” your potatoes flat. Bake or air fry with butter or oil, and seasonings of your choice for a crispy, crunchy appetizer or side dish. Serve alone or with dipping sauce.
