What it is
Steakhouse Roasters are a type of potato specifically cultivated for their size and starch content, making them ideal for roasting. These potatoes are typically dense and have a creamy texture when cooked. They are a versatile root vegetable that forms the base of many hearty dishes. Their natural sugars caramelize beautifully during the cooking process, contributing to a desirable flavor and appearance.
How people cook with it
These potatoes are a fantastic foundation for a variety of savory meals, lending themselves well to both simple preparations and more elaborate culinary creations.
- Roasted alongside meats
- As a side dish
- Cubed for gratins

To prepare Steakhouse Roasters, begin by washing them thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can choose to peel them or leave the skins on, depending on your preference for texture. Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces, such as wedges or cubes, to ensure even cooking. Toss them with your preferred oil, herbs, and seasonings. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven until they are tender on the inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside. They are excellent served hot.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to waxy potatoes, Steakhouse Roasters have a higher starch content. This makes them fluffier and more absorbent of flavors when roasted or baked. Waxy potatoes tend to hold their shape better and are often preferred for boiling or in potato salads.

How to keep the rest
Store any leftover uncooked potatoes in a cool, dark, and dry place, such as a pantry or cellar. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as this can affect their texture and flavor. Ensure they are not exposed to direct sunlight. Keep them away from onions, as they can cause each other to spoil faster.
