About Potato russet

The Potato Russet is a versatile starchy vegetable, widely recognized for its earthy flavor and fluffy texture when cooked. Native to the Andes but cultivated globally, this potato type is a staple in cuisines ranging from American to European, often featured in dishes like mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, and French fries. Rich in carbohydrates, it provides a reliable source of energy, alongside notable amounts of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber when consumed with the skin. However, it’s naturally low in fat and protein. While generally healthy, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation; frying or loading it with butter and cream may significantly increase calorie and fat content. In its simplest form, the Potato Russet remains a hearty, accessible food that fits a wide range of diets and preferences.
