Sometimes I'll use yellow flesh potatoes on the grill or mashed for something different. I prefer the flavor and texture of round reds and whites (yellow flesh) over any other potato - until it comes to fries. You can use reds for most any dish in the kitchen / grill and its fun to experiment. You can eat the skin and like it!

Even among Russets there are several varieties with different cooking qualities. Various types and varieties of potatoes are used in most all recipes. When a specific type of potato is recommended and used in a recipe the result will most likely have the taste and texture of the recipe author's intent. We all have different tastes so don't be afraid to use your local favorite potatoes. Different potato varieties offer various flavors and culinary qualities.

I am a potato grower from Pennsylvania. We specialize in round all-purpose whites, yellows and reds. It comes down to taste.. and let YOUR taste buds be the judge. Whites, Yellows and Reds have great cooking qualities, they bake, boil, steam and fry great. They typically have a little more moisture content than a russet therefore some believe they need less butter when baking. Personally I love all potatoes but I must say my favorite dish is smashed red potatoes! If you have any questions let me know-- Bryan Hi Marcy! I am a potato grower from Pennsylvania.

Traditionally, Russets have been the variety referred to as "Bakers" - although new schools of culinary thought advocate trying different varieties for baking to yield different yet tasty results.
