So, what is russet?
Russet is a type of potato known for its rough, dark brown skin and oblong shape. The flesh of this starchy tuber is white and floury, making it perfect for baking, mashing, and frying. Russet potatoes are often used to make classic dishes such as french fries, mashed potatoes, and baked potatoes due to their ideal texture and flavor. They are also a good source of potassium and vitamin C. Russet potatoes are a versatile ingredient that can add both substance and flavor to a wide range of dishes, from hearty stews to crispy snacks.
