I like to know what is all the diff enter kind of potatoes are their. like a sweet potatoes is for a dark?

Question

ornge color inside . W hat of potatoes should use for mash. thank you Sue

Answer 1

For mashed, use russet or "idaho" baking potatoes... you want the mealier texture.

For potato salads or grains, use Yukon Gold (yellow inside) or red-skinned (also called "new" potatoes. They are a bit waxier and hold up better.

Yes, sweet potatoes ("yams" if grown in Louisiana) are orange inside and sweeter than "white' potatoes.

Answer 2

Sweet potatoes or yams do have an orange flesh. You can mash them as you would any other potato. I prefer Yukon Golds for mashing because they have a natural buttery flavor but I use reds too. Experiment and you will be able to taste the differences.

Answer 3

Any white-fleshed to cream-fleshed potato makes good mashed potatoes (russet, idaho, baby reds, yukon gold). Some people even like mashed sweet potatoes and I know a hamburger place that serves sweet potato fries.

Answer 4

You can mash any potatoes.
The sweet orange potato is a nice change with plenty of cracked black pepper.

Answer 5

Yams become "candy Potatoes" once you upload the Brandy, Brown Sugar and marshmallows....magnificent? i like those in the time of the vacations or on Sundays. in any different case, i like regulare potatoes.
