Russet Potato

Also known as Idaho Potato. Also known as the Idaho potato. Russet potatoes are starchy with low moisture content, making for fluffy, picture-perfect baked potatoes or french fries. Russets won't hold their shape after cooking (avoid using them for potato salads or gratins), but they mash up very nicely with a little butter and heavy cream. The Russet's firm, brown peel makes for crisp stuffed 'tater skins too!
