Different Kinds of Potatoes
Potatoes are healthy and packed with nutrients. But when it comes to roasting potatoes, some are better than others.
Choose a starchy potato. Russet potatoes are a great choice. They will hold their shape better and not turn to mush during cooking. Russets get crispy on the outside while remaining fluffy on the inside.
Yukon Gold, red potatoes, and even sweet potatoes work well too. Yukon gold potatoes are great because they have a buttery flavor and smooth texture. Red potatoes have thinner skins that get nice and crispy. Sweet potatoes have a nice creamy texture. Their sweetness combines well with butter.
Whatever kind you choose, roast them for a comforting dish everyone will love.
