russet potatoes
Starchy baking tubers
Russet potatoes are large, oblong potatoes with rough brown skin and starchy white flesh.
Their high starch content makes them ideal for baking and frying—they produce fluffy baked potatoes and crisp french fries.
The russet is the most common potato variety in American supermarkets: I need a few russets for the mash.
