What it is
These are a type of yellow-fleshed potato known for their smooth, thin skin and buttery flavor. They are a versatile staple in many kitchens, offering a good balance of starch and moisture. Their natural color comes from their flesh, and they are typically sold in bags or loose. They are a common choice for everyday cooking and baking.
How people cook with it
Gold potatoes are a popular choice for a wide range of dishes due to their adaptable texture and mild taste.
- Mashed potatoes
- Roasted potatoes
- Potato salad
- Baked potatoes
Gold potatoes can be prepared in many ways. For mashing, they cook evenly and absorb butter and cream well. When roasting, their skin can be left on for added texture and flavor, and they develop a lovely golden-brown crust. They are also excellent boiled and chilled for potato salads, where their waxy texture helps them hold their shape. For baking, they offer a tender interior and a pleasant bite.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to russet potatoes, gold potatoes have a thinner, more edible skin and a creamier texture when cooked. They are less starchy than russets, making them ideal for dishes where you want the potato to hold its shape, like in salads.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike appreciate gold potatoes for their versatility and pleasant flavor.
How to keep the rest
Store unwashed gold potatoes in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or cellar. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as the cold can convert their starches to sugars, affecting their taste and texture. Keep them away from onions, as this can cause them to sprout faster.
