potatoes-they are a super food!

[Guest guest]

Have you ever tried a Red Gold? It's a red skinned potato with gold

flesh instead of white. Almost like a mix between a Yukon and a Red.

It has a wonderful texture and flavor.

 

I think my favorite potatoes are fingerlings. They are so versatile

and hold their shape very well, perfect for boiling.

 

Also, not every potato is the best boiled, based on its starch

content. Those that come out water logged would mean that they

shouldn't be boiled. Try steaming/pressure cooking or baking them.

 

It is amazing the variety of potatoes out there. Of course based on

what most stores carry, people are only aware of reds, whites and

russets and sometimes Yukon Golds. Try a farmers market for some

delicious and unique varieties.

 

Here is more information that you've ever wanted on potatoes:
