Chef's Note

There are several different types of potatoes. I like to use Russet potatoes for fries and baked applications. Yukon Golds are my pick for when I want a creamy mashed potato recipe and Red Potatoes are my go to for potato salads. If you are going to be boiling them, be sure to start with cold water that has lots of salt in it for the absolute best cook. When you can slide a fork in easily, you will know they are done.
