Russet potatoes are a type of potato that are large, with dark brown skin and white flesh. They are versatile and can be used for many things, including baking, mashing, roasting, french-frying, and making potato chips.Â
Here are some characteristics of russet potatoes:Â
Appearance:
Potatoes are large and oblong or slightly flattened oval in shape. They have a light to medium brown russet-brown color and netted skin.Â
Texture:
Potatoes have a dry, floury texture that is light and fluffy. When cooked, the skin is chewy.Â
Flavor:
Potatoes have a mild, earthy flavor and a medium sugar content.Â
Uses:
Potatoes are great for baking because of their low moisture content and high starch, which makes them fluffy rather than gummy. They are also good for making stuffed potatoes because of their oblong shape.Â
Availability:
Russet potatoes are available at almost any grocery store, any time of year.Â
Russet potatoes are also known as Idaho potatoes in North America.Â
