For common potatoes -
THE FOUR BASIC KINDS OF POTATOES
RUSSETS
These are the baking potatoes - long oval with netted surface.
Shallow eyed, their mealy texture is perfect for light and fluffy
french fring or baking.
ALL PURPOSE WHITES
The great majority of potatoes marketed fall under this classification.
Long or round, tan in color with fine speckles.
The flesh can be waxy or mealy.
An all-purpose variety good for salads,
creaming, scalloping, and baking.
NEW POTATOES
These are not a variety but simply potatoes that go directly from the
field to the market without being put in storage.
New potatoes are round red or long white with thin skins,
usually waxy with high sugar content.
Delicious boiled and served in jackets (skins) with butter.
Good for salads.
RED POTATOES
Ranging in color from pink to vermillion,
these waxy potatoes may be long or round.
They are used for boiling and in salads
