Top 10 Potato Varieties

The Top Ten
1 Yukon Gold Potato

This is the ultimate All Purpose Potato - good for everything, including French fries.

2 Red Bliss Potato

Good for everything except for mashing. They have no earthy flavor and I like that

Probably the most common variety in North America. They have a neutral potato flavor, and are best for mashing, baking and French fries

5 Katahdin Potato

It's your perfect French fry potato.

6 Purple Peruvian Potato

They are pretty exotic outside Peru (I would like to try them)

7 Inca Gold Potato

They are with an earthy flavor and creamy texture. Bad for soups

8 Carola Potato

Classic potato flavor - they are best for grilling and roasting, and worst for soups

Aka Purple Viking Potato. Best for baking, roasting, boiling, potato salads, casseroles and gratins, and worst for soups.

10 Rose Gold Potato

They have rose-red skin and yellow flesh. They are best for baking, worst for mashing.
