Yukon gold
Buttery potato variety
Yukon Gold is a variety of potato developed in Canada, prized for its yellow flesh and buttery flavor.
The thin, golden skin and creamy texture make it versatile for mashing, roasting, or baking.
Unlike waxy potatoes that hold their shape or starchy russets that fall apart, Yukon Golds occupy a middle ground that works well across cooking methods.
These Yukon Golds make the best mashed potatoes.
