Russet Potatoes are a beloved and indispensable kitchen staple, renowned for their thick, netted russet-brown skin and snowy white, starchy flesh that fluffs up delightfully when cooked. The impressive size and classic oval shape make them optimal for creating well-loved dishes like hearty baked potatoes, served with a dollop of sour cream and chives, or for fashioning into fluffy, buttery mashed potatoes that comfort the soul. When sliced and fried, they become the ultimate golden, crunchy French fries or can be cut into wedges and roasted to tender perfection with rosemary. Whether making a gratin with layers of melting cheese or preparing a pot of warming potato soup, Russet Potatoes add satisfying heartiness to any meal.
Store in a cool, dark and dry place, such as a box in a dark corner of the pantry; a paper bag also works well.
