Potato Varieties
Golden Potatoes
There are many different varieties of potatoes that are called golden potatoes. They all have a different look but share similar characteristics and flavor.
Traditional golden potatoes have a round shape with golden skin and flesh. Matching the buttery look is the buttery taste that has a hint of sweetness to enhance the rich potato flavor and creamy dense flavor. Goldens make for great all-purpose potatoes.
Sierra Gold Potatoes are a new variety that combine the rich, creamy flavor of the traditional golden potato with the hearty skin of a russet. The moderately firm texture makes this potato good for most dishes.
Klondike Rose Potatoes appear to be a red potato on the skin but have the taste and texture of a golden potato in the flesh. This variety is great to use in soups and salads and are also great steamed or boiled.
