Did you know that potatoes are grown in 48 states? What you probably did know is that they are a great addition to soups, stews, or alongside your favorite meats! Here are the main types of potatoes and suggestions for how they should be used in your recipes:

    • Russets or Idaho Potatoes – perfect for baking, making French fries,
      or mashing.
    • Round Red & Whites – also called boiling potatoes are delicious in salads
      and good for oven roasting and frying.
    • New Potatoes – these are young potatoes of different varieties but are
      mainly small round reds with thin skin. They are great for roasting, grilling
      or in potato salads.
    • Yukon Gold – these potatoes have a buttery-tasting flesh. They are
      excellent for boiling and mashing.

Even with a hectic schedule you can still make a delicious homemade potato salad. Plus, you don’t need to visit the store for ingredients, just search your pantry!
