Russet Potato

The Russet Potato is a white to pale yellow tuber with a floury, fluffy texture. Originally grown in the United States of America, the medium to large potato variety is satisfying whether boiled, roasted, pan fried or used to make light and fluffy mashed potatoes. The mild flavor and light texture make russets a great choice for baking whole and topping with butter, sour cream and chives. - AsNotedIn
