About Russet potatoes

Russet potatoes, also known as Idaho potatoes, are large, starchy tubers with a thick brown skin and fluffy white interior. Native to the Americas, these potatoes are a staple in many cuisines worldwide, particularly in American, European, and South American dishes. Rich in carbohydrates, russet potatoes provide a quick source of energy and are an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and dietary fiber when eaten with the skin. They are naturally fat-free, cholesterol-free, and low in sodium. However, they are calorie-dense and can become less healthy when fried or loaded with butter, sour cream, or cheese. Their high starch content makes them perfect for baking, mashing, or frying, as they turn soft and creamy when cooked. To maximize their health benefits, enjoy them baked or boiled with lighter toppings like herbs, olive oil, or Greek yogurt.
