Russet Potatoes are great for fries, frying, and baking. Red Potatoes are great for potato salads and mashed potatoes. The skin from red potatoes holds more nutrients too so if the texture doesn’t bother you, leave the skins on in your mashed potatoes.
Sweet potatoes paired with savory flavors like garlic and cheese are amazing. Swap in sweet potatoes to some of your favorite recipes to get a sweet kick in your side dish.
All other potatoes are great for roasting, mashing, and baking. So choose your favorite type of potato and get to cooking.
