Russet Potatoes
Russet potatoes are a high-starch variety of potato prized for their fluffy texture when baked or mashed. Characterized by their oblong shape and thick, netted brown skin, this North American cultivar absorbs liquids well, making it ideal for mashed potatoes and fried applications like French fries. While their high glycemic index warrants moderation for blood sugar management, the skin provides notable dietary fiber and potassium.
