We love us some potatoes in this house. Whether it’s some quickly whipped up mashed potatoes, which can be a quick and versatile starch to accompany meals, or baked fries and roasted potatoes, it’s tasty stuff.

In terms of types of potatoes, we are pretty open.

A sampler of types of potatoes:

Red potatoes are great for boiling, roasting, baking and potato salad. But they are too wet for hash browns.
Idaho potatoes are a great all-purpose potato that can be used for hash browns, baked potatoes, roasting, fries or mashed potatoes.
Fingerling potatoes are great for roasting.
Yukon Gold potatoes are good for mashing and roasting.
New potatoes are best for potato salad. They also are good for roasting.

Potato FAQs:

Should potatoes be peeled? They can be, but the potato peel is the most nutritious part of the potato, so if you eat it, you’re getting the healthy bits.
What if a potato has turned green a little? Do not eat it. The green shows the presence of alkaloid, which in potatoes can be toxic to humans.
What if a potato has eyes? Pick off the eyes and cook as normal – as long as the potato is still firm and has no patches of green anywhere. Click here for more info.
