What are the differences between the types of potatoes?
Big, brown-skinned Russet potatoes are perfect for baking, while light yellow-skinned Yukon potatoes are ideal for mashing due to their higher starch content. Red or White Rose potatoes are best when roasted but can also be cooked in any other way. And finally, since they have less starch and retain their shape best, baby red or white potatoes are most tasty boiled or in soups.
