The Best Baking Potato for the Job
The best potatoes for baking aren’t the same ones to dice into a chunky vegetable soup or slice into a gratin because potatoes have a range of sizes, textures, absorbency, and starchiness.
STARCHY POTATOES: Russet or Idaho potatoes are ideal for baking, mashing, and frying.
WAXY POTATOES: Red Bliss, Russian Banana, and Fingerlings are best to use in any recipe where you want the potato to keep its shape.
ALL-PURPOSE POTATOES: Yukon Gold and Purple potatoes have moderate amounts of starch and moisture, so they can be used in most recipes (mashed, steamed, or roasted).
