POTATOES

Whether mashed, baked or roasted, people often consider potatoes as comfort food. It is an important food staple and the number one vegetable crop in the world. Potatoes are available year-round as they are harvested somewhere every month of the year.

TYPES OF POTATOES

ALL BLUE

Taste/flavor: Published opinions range from bold, rich, earthy to nutty, to it tastes like a 'real' potato, i.e. more 'potatoey' , to its flavor is bland.

Texture: Mealy, dry. Some say All Blue takes longer to cook than other varieties. Others say its flesh is firm and harder to cut through

Uses: A top-rated baking potato. Excellent steamed, mashed, microwaved, roasted. Keeps its color better when fried or baked than when boiled or microwaved. In Finland, it is served mashed with sour cream. Terra Chips makes its famous blue potato chips from All Blue

Other: Very high in antioxidants, especially the skin.

 

YUKON GOLD

These are good all-purpose potatoes that have yellow flesh and a rich flavor.  They're great for boiling, but they tend to fall apart if over-cooked.  Substitutes:  Yellow Finn potatoes (slightly sweeter than Yukon gold) OR red-skinned potato (lacks yellow flesh) OR white round potatoes

BINTJE

This is a creamy, yellow-fleshed potato that's especially good for roasting and making fries. 

YELLOW FINN

These are great all-purpose potatoes, known for their yellow flesh, creamy texture, and buttery flavor.   Substitutes: Yukon Gold potato (not as sweet as Yellow Finn) OR red-skinned potatoes OR white round potatoes

RED THUMB

The red thumb potato is defined primarily by its shape, size and texture. Measuring about two to three inches in length and tubular in shape, its given name suggests it has the appearance of a thumb. its skin is ruby hued and semi smooth. Its flesh, marbled with pink and creamy white coloring, is waxy and firm. This is a trademark texture of nearly all red potato varieties.

FRENCH FINGERLING

French fingerling potatoes understandably acquired their descriptive name due to their oblong and skinny shape. Rather dry and flour like, this potato variety offers quality and a delicious nutty flavor. Wrapped in a pinkish-red skin, the moist yellow flesh also has streaks of pink. Fingerlings measure between two and four inches in size.

RUSSIAN BANANA

They have a firmer texture and are an excellent base in potato salad. Fingerling potatoes are not grown for quantity or size, thus resulting in the best potato found. They are more flavorful and add a wonderfully special touch to any meal. Russian Bananas are one of the most popular of the fingerlings and are a guaranteed seller.

ALL RED

The All Red potato has brilliant red skin and pinkish-red flesh. Smooth sin, shallow eyes. Round and red inside and out. it’s gonna be very popular in potato salads and potato pizzas along with All Blue, Yellow Finn and Anoka.

PONTIAC RED

Top-notch mashing potato! Produces solid tubers with thin red skin, shallow eyes and crisp white flesh. A good keeper—has long-lasting quality. Does extremely well in heavy soils.

RED GOLD

Red Gold potatoes are medium sized tubers, with lightly netted red skin wrapped around a delicate yellow flesh that has the texture and flavor no other potato has. Excellent steamed, boiled, baked fried, mashed, roasted or scalloped. One of our favorite potatoes.

RUSSET BURBANK

In raw form, this is your classic baking potato.  Typically they are baked at 400 F for about one hour - make sure to pierce in a few places or they'll explode!
